1940’s Key Wound Marx Metal Tank

By clbanddpb, 8 January, 2012
Description

This model has a built-in winding key.

Measuring roughly 7-3/4"-long, this little juggernaut was designed to just roll on a straight course with its twin roof-mounted machine guns vibrating up and down with the motion while sparks fly from underneath their little barrels.

Left flint needs replacement (extra flints are included), but the tank is fully working in all other regards. Bright colors and a real high gloss to the litho, with a minimum of play wear on the exterior as well as the big hidden drive wheel underneath. Condition: is in {A- to B+}.

The original box is included but is missing flaps on one end. Condition: is in {C- to D-}.
