Vintage Tinplate Toy Battery Operated Helicopter By Louis Marx & Co In Its Original Box
This highly collectible toy is an, Intercity Service, Vintage Tinplate Toy Battery Operated Helicopter By Louis Marx & Co In Its Original Box.
A lovely small silver coloured tinplate toy, with red and white accents, the battery operated remote control should allow the helicopter to move forward and reverse, and the blades gently rotate. Unfortunately, it isn't designed to fly! Currently, the helicopter only works going forwards and not in reverse: a repair may be possible by someone with electrical skills.
In lovely cosmetic condition, with a few superficial marks and some rust on the base, the helicopter is lithographed with windows, pilots, and the words; Inter City Service, and number LM 6040 in red. The blades detach to ensure they fit in the cardboard box, which is intact and in fair condition: some scuffs, tears and creases.
