Marx U.S. Army No.3 Tank *SOLD*

Marx U.S. Army No.3 Tank

Our Marx tin windup tank is a great World War 1 style tank with a Marx touch.  The windup is robust and works well, crawling into toy action.  Condition is very lightly used and original; coming from a 1930’s era estate.

Marx put twin guns on top, similar to aircraft guns to make more armament.   One flint was added back, but there was not metal dust left on the flywheels.  It emitted only one spark.

The lithograph has very light scratching on the black turrets and just a trace of play wear.  We rate condition as very good to excellent.
