13 VINTAGE MARX POCKETOOLS







Available for purchase is a collection of 13 different miniature "Pocketools" made by Louis Marx & Co. in New York City during the early 1960s.  Pocketools were "carefully engineered, accurate miniatures of the basic hand tools of our complex machine age".  They were reportedly "meant for instruction and interest and to help keep alive the American tradition of being able to work with one's hands".  This set includes the following tools:

Bench Plane
Hand Saw
Try Square (Combination Square)
Ball Peen Hammer
Bit Brace (missing bit)
Open End Wrenches
Try Square
Hand Drill
Bench Vise
Tool Maker's Clamp
Calipers
Hack Saw (missing blade)
Micrometer

    Each comes in its original package. I purchased this collection at a recent estate sale, along with some additional Pocketools that I'm selling separately (please see my other listings).

Condition of these Marx Pocketools is generally VERY GOOD.  They are unused in their original packaging.  As I mentioned in the detailed list, the bit brace is missing the bit and the hack saw is missing the blade.  The original packaging shows significant wear.  Some have staples, damaged plastic, tears, or tape marks.  Overall, the set looks good and would make a fine addition to any collection.  Please take a close look at the many photos I've provided and judge condition for yourself.  I'm confident you'll be very pleased with this purchase.

If you collect miniature tools or Marx toys, don't miss your opportunity to purchase this offering.  My Buy It Now price of only $94 is a bargain for this set.  So buy these tools now before someone else beats you to the deal!

Payment is due immediately after purchase.  Virginia residents will need to add 5.3% state sales tax to the final purchase price.  Numerous other states are also charging sales tax on eBay purchases, something beyond my control.


For international purchases, I accept Paypal only.  The buyer is responsible for all customs fees.  The declared value listed on the customs form will be the final selling price of the item.  I will not list the item as a "gift" to avoid customs charges.





If you're the lucky buyer of these Marx Pocketools, they will come to you VERY carefully packaged via USPS Ground Advantage or Priority Mail (your choice).  Shipping will be actual charges from zip code 22980 (packaged weight between 2 and 3 pounds).  Use the eBay shipping calculator to determine exact mailing cost to your location.  International buyers will need to e-mail me for a shipping quote.


E-bay no longer allows sellers to offer buyers the option of purchasing shipping insurance.  I will insure this item at my own expense.
