Item Description
11.25x17x2.5" deep box w/nicely illustrated lid contains parts for Lionel Set No. 1536, © WDE, c. 1935. Box shows moderate aging/wear w/three corner splits to lid and scattered punctures. Missing cardboard insert. VG overall. Train consists of 7" long wind-up painted metal engine, 4" long coal car w/attached painted composition Mickey Mouse figure (who holds painted tin shovel) and three different 6" long tin litho train cars. The engine's wind-up action works well - back wheels w/attached side rails revolve w/rod movement and bell rings. This is engine variety w/light on front, however, a special battery is required for operation, which are no longer produced. As such, we cannot test the light, but small lightbulb is still present. Engine comes w/original key. Engine shows some scattered paint wear and is Fine/VF overall. Coal car Mickey figure is jointed at waist and is designed to move up and down as if shoveling as the train travels around the track. Back is marked "Mickey Mouse Stoker." Tin car shows scattered paint wear on edges and where Mickey's shovel rests; Mickey figure is VF/Exc. The three train cars each have a different title and these are "Mickey Mouse Circus/Mickey Mouse Band/Circus Dining Car." These show just the slightest trace of wear/aging and are Exc. overall and as nice as they come. Set includes correct amount of eight sections of curved track and two sections of straight track. Set also comes w/5" tall painted composition figure of Mickey as a circus barker. This shows just some lt. scattered paint wear and is VF overall. Missing circus tent and cardboard accessory pieces, but comes w/five of ten 5¢ admission tickets. A true classic for both collectors of Disneyana and train sets. Cars and Mickey Circus Barker figure are rarely found in this condition.
