VINTAGE GESCHA STRENCO ROCKET TRANSPORT IN IT ' S BOX. W. GERMANY
Item History & Price
PERFECTLY WORKING (IN ORIGINAL SHAPE/CONDITION) WITH IT'S ORIGINAL BOX. NO SURPRISES HERE .... JUST A PRISTINE, PLASTIC & TIN, VINTAGE GESCHA/STRENCO SINGLE MISSILE/ROCKET TRANSPORT/LAUNCHER.
THIS GESCHA ITEM NUMBER: 1430 HAS BEEN WITH ME FOR MORE THEN A COUPLE OF DECADES NOW. IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED WITH NOR HAS THIS BEEN ON DISPLAY. IT HAS BEEN IN IT'S ORIGINAL BOX EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS IN A TOY STORE IN LONDON, ENGLAND.
THIS MISSILE TRANSPORT IS MADE OF PLAS...TIC WITH THE MISSILE LAUNCHING BASE BEING MADE OUT OF TIN.
THIS IS NOT A CLOCKWORK OR FRICTION DRIVEN TRANSPORT. IT IS A SIMPLE PUSH TO ROLL MODEL. THE MISSILE OR ROCKET DOES LAUNCH AS THE PLASTIC/RUBBER MISSILE/ROCKET IS SPRING LOADED AND THE SMALL RED LEVER STILL RELEASES THE MISSILE ON DEMAND.... WHEN IT'S COCKED THAT IS.
THE THREE SOLDERS ARE ORIGINAL AS IS THE MISSILE ITSELF. THE REAR SOLDIERS CAN BE SHIFTED TO THE FRONT OF THE REAR CARGO SECTION AS THESE ARE HELD INTO PLACE BY METAL PINS. THE DRIVE IS UNIQUE AS HE HAS A HELMET, HE TOO IS HELD IN PLACE WITH A PIN.
THE BODY AND CHASSIS OF THE ROCKET TRANSPORT IS AS CLOSE TO NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) AS ONE COULD ASK FOR. YOU HAVE JUST A FEW SIGNS OF PLAY WEAR AND THE CLEAR DRIVERS DOME IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION WITH NO ISSUES. THE LOGO APPEARS ON ONE SIDE OF THE TRANSPORT ONLY, THIS IS HOW IT WAS PURCHASED. NO INSTRUCTIONS EVER ACCOMPANIED THIS ITEM, SO PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT ANY.
THE MISSILE OR ROCKET IS LIKE NEW AND HAS NO ISSUES. THE TIP OF THE MISSILE/ROCKET IS MADE OF A SOFT RUBBER AND ALL FOUR FINS ARE STILL ORIGINALLY ATTACHED TO THE BARREL OF THE MISSILE.
THIS MISSILE/ROCKET SOARS AND WILL EASILY TRAVEL 12 FEET PLUS! THE ROCKET LAUNCHING BASE SWIVELS AND TILTS FOR EASY AIMING.
YOU DO HAVE SOME VERY SLIGHT SIGNS OF BOX RASHING ON THE ORIGINAL BOX, NONE REALLY THAT BAD AND WHAT IS HERE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO LOCATE.... IT'S THAT MINOR! BUT, I DO FEEL COMPELLED TO POINT THIS OUT. THIS BOX WAS USED FOR ANY 1 OF 4 MODELS AND AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE, THIS IS THE CORRECT BOX FOR THIS 1430 MISSILE/ROCKET TRANSPORT/LAUNCHER.
NO RUST, NO DINGS, NO CORROSION AND NO CRACKS EXIST ANYWHERE ON THIS MODEL 1430.
THE ORIGINAL BOX DOES HAVE SOME SLIGHT FADING AND SOME SLIGHT BOX RASH FROM BEING MOVED AROUND OVER THE DECADES. NO TAPE OR GLUE HAS BEEN ADDED AND I WILL WRAP THE TRANSPORT ITSELF IN BUBBLE WRAP AND PLACE IT ON ONE OF MY SHELVES (5A)TILL IT GETS SOLD.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. MY WORDS HERE.
DOMESTICALLY SENT VIA THE USPS FULLY INSURED.
INTERNATIONALLY SENT VIA EBAY'S GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM (GSP). OTHER SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE MADE WITH PRIOR CONTACT VIA EBAY'S MESSAGING AND PRIOR TO MAKING THE PURCHASE. YOU THE BUYER BECOME SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL "IMPORT FEES" AND ANY ADDITIONAL "OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES". WHEN BEING SHIPPED OUTSIDE OF EBAY'S GSP, PROOF OF DELIVERY IS MANDATORY.
ONCE AGAIN, MY PICTURES DO A FAR BETTER JOB THEN MY DESCRIPTION ABOVE, PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE PHOTOS DO BECOME A VITAL PART OF THE DESCRIPTION, SO BE SURE TO CHECK THESE OUT REALLY THOROUGHLY AND IF ANY QUESTIONS DO ARISE, FEEL FREE TO ASK.
I AM TRYING A SHORTER CONDENSED APPROACH TO MY LISTINGS AS I HAVE LITERALLY MORE THEN A THOUSAND MODELS TO ADD.....
WHOEVER PURCHASES THIS VINTAGE MISSILE/ROCKET TRANSPORT/LAUNCHER WILL BE PROUD TO ADD IT TO THEIR COLLECTION, IT'S A RARE ITEM SELDOM SEEN HERE ON EBAY OR ELSEWHERE, ADD TO THIS THAT YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOX AND IT'S AS CLOSE TO NOS AS ONE COULD ASK FOR AND NOW YOU HAVE YOURSELF A REAL KEEPER HERE!
