Marx Tin Lithographed “Flash Gordon Radio Repeater Click Pistol” with Box

This Flash Gordon Click Pistol is tops!   Enjoy the space age sleek design and prewar Marx tin at its best.

See the lithography of Saturn, Flash Gordon, buttons and coils, cooling vents, and the stars!   The box is a beauty too, with flash, buildings, “exhaust gasses”, and the Marx logos.  Vents are nicely cut into the toy’s “chamber” along with ray gun coils above.

The box is pressed and wrapped for the perfect presentation.   The toy is lightly used and clicks very well.

When a kid pressed the trigger, the gun makes an oil can type clicking with each pull.  Pull 60 times a second and the kid could “destroy” 60 enemies of Flash!

The box condition is excellent and original.  The pistol condition is good to excellent and all original.
