Description
Great vintage Marx wind up tin litho WWII US bomber plane. When wound, the wheels spin and move the bomber along a smooth floor and move a friction wheel across a flint at the bottom of each machine gun that throws sparks out of the machine guns to simulate them firing. One side needs a new flint, and the other still fires sporadically while unwinding.
Great detailing on the litho with the pilot, co pilot, bombardier, and radio operator clearly visible.
The plane as a one piece fuselage, with the tail, wings, canopy, engines, propellors, machine guns, wheels, and winding assemply all individual pieces.
Measures about 14" from nose to tail, 4" tall when "parked", and has an 18" wingspan.
Lightly played with condition. Could use a careful cleaning. No missing pieces. The wind up mechanism is in good shape. There is some surface rust on one wing edge with minimal rusting elsewhere. Some minor paint loss, wear, and rub. Displays great, see pictures for actual condition of EXACTLY what you will receive.
