$199.00
HERE I AM OFFERING A VERY, VERY RARE, NOS (AS IN TRUE NEW OLD STOCK), TIN, ANTIQUE, FRICTION DRIVEN, FOUR (4) PIECE, ANTIQUE VEHICLE GIFT SET FROM CRAGSTAN (SSS INTERNATIONAL...AKA SANESU). ALL FOUR (4) OF THESE VEHICLES TO INCLUDE THE CHASSIS ARE MADE TOTALLY OUT OF TIN! THE ONLY NON-TIN ITEMS ON THESE VEHICLES ARE THE RUBBER TIRES!NOS = NEW OLD STOCK.THIS CRAGSTAN SET HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILIES POSSESSION SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED NEW! THIS WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED BY MY DAD ON ONE OF HIS BUSINESS TRIPS ABROAD.HAVING HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON . 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS CRAGSTAN SET WILL BE NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!THE EXACT DATE THIS WAS MADE/OFFERED ELUDES ME, BUT IF I WERE TO GUESS, I WOULD SAY THIS IS FROM THE LATE 1960\'STHE TIN LITHOGRAPH FOUND THROUGHOUT THESE MODELS ARE STILL FACTORY FRESH, SHINY AND BRIGHT. YOU WILL FIND SOME SLIGHT BOX RASH FROM MODEL TO MODEL, NOTHING BAD AT ALL, BUT, I MUST POINT THIS OUT AS I AM SURE THAT SOMEONE OUT HERE IN LAND WILL BE ABLE TO LOCATE SOMETHING ..... SOMEWHERE! SO HERE I WILL EXERCISE SOME DUE DILIGENCE! ALL OF THESE MODELS ARE MADE FROM TIN AND IN THIS SET YOU HAVE ONE (1) EACH OF THE FOLLOWING VEHICLES:1.) FIRE ENGINE,
2.) LIMOUSINE,
3.) TOURING CAR AND
4.) PICK-UP TRUCK.AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, ALL OF THESE FOUR (4) VEHICLES ARE MADE FROM TIN. ALL OF THE BODIES ARE WITHOUT ANY DENTS, RUST OR SCRATCHES. NONE OF THESE HAVE EVER LEFT THIS BOX UNTIL I TOOK THESE PICTURES AND TESTED ALL OF THE STRONG FRICTION MOTORS .... AND ALL OF THESE FRICTION MOTORS WORK PERFECTLY!! NO FRICTION ENGINE, AS IN NONE OF THEM HAVE ANY ISSUES!ALL OF THE FRICTION DRIVES SOUND THE SAME EXCEPT FOR THE FIRE ENGINE. THIS ONE HAS THE ADDITION OF A SIREN TYPE NOISE WHEN THE FRICTION MOTOR IS ENGAGED. ALL OF THE CHASSIS\'S ARE ALSO 100% TIN. YOU HAVE NO SIGNS OF PLAY WEAR OR SCRATCHES ON ANY OF THEM... AS ONE SHOULD EXPECT FROM A TRULY NOS ITEM... OR IN THIS CASE ITEMS!ALL 16 OF THESE TIRES ARE MADE FROM RUBBER AND ARE SOMEWHAT PLIABLE/SOFT, AS THEY WERE DESIGNED TO BE. THEY HAVE NO FLAT SPOTS, CRACKS, DISCOLORATION OR DRY ROT, THEY ARE ALL PERFECTLY ROUND AND FOR GOOD REASON AS NONE OF THESE HAVE BEEN ON THE GROUND ... EVER! ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN STORED ON THEIR SIDES!THE ONLY CONCERN WOULD BE THAT YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO LOCATE SOME SLIGHT BOX RASH ON ONE OR TWO OF THESE MODELS. ANY IMPERFECTIONS BEYOND THIS CAME FROM THE FACTORY! ALTHOUGH, I HAVE THOROUGHLY INSPECTED AND TESTED ALL OF THESE MODELS, ONCE AGAIN, I MUST EXERCISE AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION HERE! THE ORIGINAL BOX OFFERED HERE IS IN EXCELLENT TO SHOWCASE SHAPE/CONDITION. THE GRAPHICS ARE ALL VERY CLEAR, BUT, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS BOX WAS PRINTED A HALF CENTURY AGO AND COMPARED TO TODAYS PRINTING, THIS LEAVES A LITTLE SOMETHING TO BE DESIRED. THIS BOX DID FIND ITSELF MID WAY UP ONE OF MY TOWERS OF BOXES AND AS SUCH IT HAS A SLIGHT DEPRESSION ON THE BOX TOP. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL 16 STAPLES HOLD THE BASE AND LID TOGETHER. NO TAPE OR GLUE HAS EVER BEEN USED/ADDED. THE ORIGINAL INSERT IS ALSO PRESENT AND THIS TOO HAS ALL OF THE ORIGINAL STAPLES. THERE IS ONE SMALL TEAR ON THE BASE THAT IS ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF AND ON A SEAM. THIS DOES NOT GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CORRUGATED BASE (IT\'S MORE LIKE A SNAG OF SORTS).BY MY STANDARDS AND POLICIES, I VERY RARELY DO NOT TEST WHAT IT IS I AM OFFERING HERE ON . AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TEST A MODEL? ALL ONE NEED DO IS TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES AND GIVE IT A GO, OR A SIMPLE PUSH TO SEE IF THE FRICTION DRIVE IS WORKING! I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE SELLERS WHO WILL EVER SAY \"THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED AND AS SUCH IT IS SOLD IN AS IS CONDITION\" OR , \"I HAVE NOT TESTED THE WIND-UP MECHANISM (CLOCK-WORK) AS I DO NOT HAVE A KEY, SO THIS WILL BE SOLD UNTESTED\". ALL FOUR (4) OF THESE CRAGSTAN MODELS HAVE BEEN FULLY TESTED AND ALL WORK PERFECTLY! I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE.ALL-IN-ALL YOU WILL BE VERY, VERY HARD PRESSED TO LOCATE ANOTHER CRAGSTAN \"4 GIFT SET ANTIQUE CARS MODEL NUMBER 40129\" THAT LOOKS LIKE AND WORKS LIKE THIS SET DOES! ADD TO THIS THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL BOX, WITH THE ORIGINAL INSERT AND THIS SET IS TRULY NOS .... NOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT ANY COLLECTOR WOULD BE PLEASED AND PROUD TO ADD TO THEIR COLLECTION OF TIN, FRICTION DRIVEN, ANTIQUE, JAPANESE MODEL COLLECTION!!ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA MESSAGING AND SUPPLY ME WITH YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS AND I WILL DO THE REST!THIS ANTIQUE SET OF CRAGSTAN TIN VEHICLES IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF MODELS AND OF AN ERA THAT HAS LONG PASSED US BY.THIS IS A NEW STORE FOR ME HERE ON , BUT, I COME WITH A WELL OILED AND POLISHED TRACK RECORD!
