Description :

Wonderful tin litho Cape Canaveral missile base model from Louis Marx. Co. Includes instructions for assembly, informational book about Cape Canaveral IRL, USAF decals, buildings, missiles, gantry, worker figures, a phonograph record for making your launches sound real, and the still-intact in original shrink-wrap & box Missile Control Center.

Our client took many of the pieces out of the box, looked at them, and repackaged them. Please note that this is NOT one of the original sets from the 1960s, but the authorized reproduction using the same molds done in 1996 – model #4521. Thus, everything – including the box - is still in great condition. Please note that we didn’t check that every single piece is here, but given our client’s penchant for completeness and authenticity, we are pretty sure it's intact. The client bought the set directly from Marx (original receipt is included) so pieces haven’t gone through others’ hands.

Possible bonus: the pictured Marx-Atomic phonograph record of missile launches isn’t pictured in photos of the repro set online; records were on their way out by the mid-90s. We think our client may have purchased this separately from another collector; it seems to be from the original 1960s production run given its slight yellowing (he was a very complete collector!). The new owner can look into this. Box measures approx. 15” H x 23” W x 5” D.

Box only!
