This woman would be considered a hoarder. She had an interesting way of dealing with the issue. Her solution to the problem was once her home became to full to live in she would purchase another home. So when she died she had 3 homes in the town where her and my mother lived. One of the houses she lived in the other two where boarded up full of their contents. A lot of her items were in there original boxes/packaging, if not the items where wrapped and boxed up. These toys came from her first home. That home had been boarded up for over 50 years (actually the windows are still boarded up just the door entrances have been opened. She refused to sale anything, her possession or homes as my mother tried to by this home back in the 1980's. As you can see from some of my listings some items where surprisingly great condition but others got some damage from setting in a house with no HVAC (the home had a coal stove), electricity or water (except from the leaky roof {rust}). The items she wrapped up she wrapped in newspaper. The most current news paper date we have found while unwrapping numerous boxes is 1958, which makes sense as most of the local say the home was boarded up in the early 1960's. As I personally don't have a history with these toys or knowledge about them you can purchase with confidence as you can return the item for any reason and I will give you a full refund. Thank you for looking at my listing.
