STELLAR EXAMPLE OF A CA. 1930S MARX 'POPEYE EXPRESS', ACQUIRED DIRECTLY FROM THE FAMILY OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THIS IS A RARE, CLEAN SURVIVOR, UNTOUCHED IN A CURIO CABINET FOR MANY YEARS. THE TIN LITHO FINISH IS UNTOUCHED AND QUITE CLEAN- NO DENTS. WARPING, MISSING COMPONENTS OR NOTABLE PLAY WEAR. THE MECHANISM WORKS PERFECTLY, WITH POPEYE PEDDLING A WHEELBARROW FORWARD, WITH VACATION TRUNK IN TOW, THE PARROT IN PLACE [OFTEN MISSING] ON TOP. HE HAS THE ORIGINAL ...PIPE, NOT BENT AND CLEAN, EVEN RARER TO BE PRESENT. IT IS 85+ YEAR OLD, AND THE LITHOGRAPHY- THOUGH STILL BRIGHT- HAS OXIDIZED OVER TIME, EXACTLY WHAT IS PREFERRED AND EXPECTED. THIS IS A SUPERIOR EXAMPLE, WITH FEW COMING UP FOR SALE. BEING SHIPPED AS SHOWN, AND YOU WILL RECEIVE IT AS SHOWN.
PHOTO #12 SHOWS A TYPICAL, LESSER EXAMPLE COMMANDING MUCH MORE THAN MY ASKING PRICE AT AUCTION. WITH AUCTION PREMIUM, IT SOLD FOR $810- MINE LOOKS EVEN BETTER.
SHIPPING INCLUDES FULL INSURANCE AND SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION. THE BUYER/ RECIPIENT MUST SIGN FOR IT IN PERSON IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE PACKAGE. GUARANTEED TO ARRIVE IN HIGH GRADE, AS SHOWN.
RETURNS ARE NOT ACCEPTED, SO PLEASE REFER TO THE PHOTOS. WITH ITEMS OF THIS NATURE, THERE ARE TOO MANY SCAMMERS TO ALLOW RETURNS. AS EVIDENCED BY MY HIGH RATING, I AM TRANSPARENT AND GUARANTEE SAFE ARRIVAL OF THE EXACT ITEM SHOWN.
THANKS!
