Imported by M.B. Austin in the late 1950s or early 1960s. Box is in fair condition with some wear. Spare parts included to re-detail the model for other versions. Good running piece of brass model history. Driver plating is slightly worn. Fun old school model. Very hard to find model as no record of it's production can be found within online resources. Note: Gearbox has been re-soldered to correct broken solder joint in the bottom portion since these photos were taken.
