Description: This tin litho friction-powered rocket ship is a faithful reproduction of a highly popular Marx toy from around 1939. This version is from Schylling's Collector Series and comes in a box that opens to reveal decoration like an old Flash Gordon comic strip. The box has just a few scuffs. The toy itself is clean and bright as you would expect, with a couple of tiny scratches on the underside presumably from factory handling. This item was purchased new in 2007 and has remained boxed in my collection ever since. It has never been played with and only handled now to confirm that the friction mechanism works and moves the vehicle, which it does. The accompanying "sparkling action" (intended to shoot sparks out of the rear based on a flint rubbing on a grinding wheel) is not yet sparkling however, and may need some breaking-in. Approx 12" long x 3.5" wide x 4.5" tall. This is a very nice tribute to the original Marx toy, at a small fraction of its cost! It will make a fun and attractive addition to any tin toy collection.
