Item Description
Illustrated cardboard box w/"A Flashing - Roaring - Speeding Model Of Buck Rogers Famous Inter-Planetary Rocket Cruiser" text contains very attractively designed 12" long tin litho rocketship w/built-in key. 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. Toy works exceptionally well and travels forward as pinging sound is made. Evenly aged w/small scattered traces of wear in the form of small nicks/scratches. Fine/VF overall. Wonderful graphics on both box and toy.
