Marx, 1934. Box is complete w/original cardboard nose cone insert and features printed text directions on one inner flap w/opposite flap having diagram of toy. Box is evenly aged and one end flap has .75" tear by tab slot, but o/w box has had no repairs and remains structurally sound w/strong color. VF and as nice as these come. Toy features detailed images of Buck, Wilma Deering and Dr. Huer in cockpit windows. Complete w/original flint holder (flint is missing but easily replaced) and separate fin flint cover which is often missing. Underside of the nose cone has full figure Buck Rogers logo image.
