Item History & Price
DESCRIPTION: This is one of the first Hess toy trucks that was ever sold. Whenfound in perfect condition, this is a high dollar toy. Unfortunately, this one is far from perfect, but is quite restorableor useful as a parts source. It is marked on the bottom and made by“Marx Toys” and “Made in Hong Kong”. It features wheelsthat roll, and battery-operated lights.
MATERIALS: All hard plastic with rubber tires
DIMENSIONS: Measures about 12-3/8 inches long. The scale is unkno...wn.
CONDITION: This truck is being sold as-is for parts or restoration. It wasused for display on a train layout board, and the owner painted theframe, and bumpers black with a brush and trimmed the chrome insilver. He also trimmed the wheels in silver which looks good, butis incorrect. The battery operated lights do not work, and thebattery box is messy. The ladder on front of the tank is broken. There is tape on the bottom of the trailer frame that has beenpainted over. The right side vent window has been glued. Thebattery box door was at one time glued shut. It opens nicely now. There are 2 taillights on the rear of the truck cab that are probablyan addition. Any small parts accessories that originally came withthis truck are missing.
Hereis a great old truck that looks good, but will need a lot of work bya talented restorer to make it look original again. Or, you couldjust enjoy it as it sits.
