Replacement Battery Box

for the Marx Hootin’ Hollow House

 This listing is for a replacement metal Battery Box for the 1960’s Marx Hootin’ Hollow House. The battery box is a perfect fitting replacement tin part complete with battery contacts. Each battery box is test fit to an original toy rear panel to ensure an exact fitting installation. Just solder your wires and go! The battery contacts are slightly different than the original ONLY in that I have installed the flexible brass contact at both ends rather than the round stationary contact as original. The contact board is also gray vs the original tan color. 

These battery boxes are MADE TO ORDER and ship from our website. Please allow between one and two weeks for delivery. It is best to order early as these become a popular selling item the closer we get to Halloween. We also make several other parts for this toy including the skeleton, the black cat, and the button just to name a few.  The toy in the photo is for reference only and not for sale currently. Feel free to contact us with questions or concerns. We are super easy to work with!

Please note: You will see in one of the photos that I have installed 3 'D' cell batteries in the new box. These are heavy duty batteries - NOT ALKALINE BATTERIES!  Alkaline batteries did not exist at the time the haunted house and many other tin battery toys were made. Slightly dimensionally larger than the heavy-duty batteries, it explains why so many vintage toys with either tin or plastic battery boxes have damaged battery boxes. Always remember, NO ALKALINE BATTERIES IN ANTIQUE/VINTAGE TOYS!
