Vintage Toy Submarine Dolphin Anker DDR Germany Battery operated Remote Control

Vintage Toy Submarine "Dolphin" – Anker DDR Germany (1970s)

This rare vintage toy submarine was manufactured by Anker in the 1970s in East Germany (DDR). An updated version of earlier models made by ELMES, this submarine features a durable plastic body and an advanced sealed motor by PIKO. It uses a magnetic coupling system to transfer torque to the propeller shaft, making it a unique and innovative toy for its time.
