This is a group of vintage Marx military vehicles and figures that came from a Marx Desert Fox Play Set, offered together as one lot.
The U.S. group includes the tan No. 41 tank, personnel carrier/halftrack, Jeep, artillery gun, small raft and two seated soldiers. These pieces are generally cleaner than the German pieces, although they still show surface dirt, scuffs and normal age/play wear.
Please note: While packing the lot, I noticed some marks on the barrel of the No. 41 American tank that appear to be chew marks. The barrel is still intact and complete. I have included a close-up photograph of this area, so please examine the pictures carefully.
The German group includes two gray No. 351 tanks, personnel carrier, motorcycle with attached sidecar and two seated soldiers. These pieces show noticeably heavier evidence of play and age. The tanks have scuffs, scratches, age-related dirt/grime and visible dirt around portions of the tracks and undersides. They have been left as found.
The German personnel carrier also shows age/play wear and dirt, along with blue-colored markings/residue on the hood and side. One wheel/axle is bent. The wheel remains attached and the vehicle still rolls. I have not attempted to straighten it, as bending aged plastic back into position could cause damage.
The German motorcycle has its molded-in driver and attached sidecar. I have not attempted to separate the sidecar from the motorcycle, and I have not attempted to force either of the loose seated figures into it.
The original Marx Desert Fox Play Set box will be pictured near the end of the photographs only to document where these pieces came from. THE BOX IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SALE.
These pieces came from a large vintage collection. I have not cleaned, repaired or restored them. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they are an important part of the description and show the exact pieces and condition.
