This item was made right after WWII as it was purchased from a Hobby/Toy Store where it was stored in a basement up on the shelf for the last 70+ years with other wood toys I have listed. Be sure to click on my seller's list to see the other wood toys that I purchased with this one. You are buying what is listed in the title and pictured here. I have taken numerous pictures of this item, and should you require more information please feel free to email me and I will do my best to answer any questions. Because grading is subjective to each individual, it is important that you review all pictures closely. If there is some damage or missing parts I will do my best to always mention what I see. All items I offer are sold as-is, as pictured, with no returns, so please look at the pictures ask questions and judge it for yourself.
