VERY RARE CRAGSTAN TIN BATTERY OPERATED RCA-NBC COLOR TRUCK MINT BOXED !
A spectacular working tin toy truck with its' box that would be the envy in any collection! Cameraman moves as it should revolving in either direction with the film.As one can see NO rust anywhere, even the battery section where most are really rusted.Even the bottom is clean, no scratches. There are some light scuffs on the rear bumper, but these are so very slight, probably from its' box rubbing on ...the corners.Talking of the box; its' included with the original $2.98 price tag in black marker showing on the lid.
This toy works flawlessly, as it should, watching the parade go forward or in reverse. The other lever propels the truck forward; still with the parade working on the screen.You can even change the direction of the truck by placing the lever on the bottom of the truck in 3 separate positions; left, right or straight.The only reason I am selling this item is I already have one just like it.
You will rarely see this toy in this superb MINT condition; but I just need one not two of in my tin toy collection.This is the finest item I have ever had for sale on Ebay. It is just that this toy is so MINT in its' presentation.Just takes two fresh "D" batteries for this toy to function.
Again, to obtain this toy and its' box in this superb condition is very scarce to find especially from its' year of production of 1957.
One of the finest examples of this very rare toy EVER on Ebay!
You will NOT find one much better than this one! Especially with its' box inclusive.
I have reduced the price of this item for quick sale. It has cost me considerably more than what I am asking as the starting price. But I only need one in my toy collection.It was from a large private toy collection.
So if you are a serious bidder get this gorgeous toy now!
Good Luck in Bidding,
