Item Description
8" tall main tower is litho tin. Also included is folded wire assembly which opens to 20" and contains two 4" long tin litho planes with 4" wingspan. 1930s. Box which shows instructions on back panel is flattened, has heavy wear, no end flaps present, many creases and some tears. Just comes along for use as bkg. display. Good. Toy itself has built-in key and when wound airplanes revolve in an up and down fashion due to angled shaft that holds the wire assembly. Works well and celluloid-like propellers revolve rapidly as planes fly around. Tower has great lithography featuring soldiers manning anti-aircraft guns at air base, planes flying and being hit by aircraft fire, etc. Base has a few light scratches probably as produced. Exc. Cap has a few scratches including .5" one through the "Marx" logo. VF. Planes are Exc. and are seldom found with all propellers intact. Overall VF/Exc.
