C.1915 Mcloughlin, Boy Scouts Company B In Orig. Box For Sale
New Template
Toy Name:
McLoughlin, Boy Scouts
Company B in Original Box
Incredible
never-played-with complete 44 piece soldier set with tent and flag.
Year:
c.1915
Description:
Superb
set of 44 die cut chromolithograph printed Boy Scouts in uniform; never
played with, no wear, no dings, no dents. Essentially it's "mint in
box, however while at sale the head of one figure was torn off. I've
had it professionally reconnected and it's nearly impossible to tell
which one it is. This is a minor issue in comparison to the overall
extraordinary quality of a near 100 year old toy. You could try to
replace it, but it'd be difficult to match the pristine condition.
Each 5½" figure printed, is die cut and spray coated with varnish (this
is what they did back then, not now). Each is attached to its original
1½" long wooden block at the base using two nails. Not a single one has
a crease, fold, or spot of wear. The colors are fabulous; bright, deep,
and rich without fading. The bases are all firmly attached.
Most carry rifles. In addition there are 3 drummers, 2 fifers, and one
bugler.
The tent has never been completely unfolded and set up. It has its
original canvas flag in place and is marked Boy Scouts Company A. It's
in mint condition without any wear, tears, or signs of use.
They set of Scout soldier come in their original wooden tiered box.
Each of four tiers is slotted to perfectly fit 11 wooden bases
horizontally. The box is wooden and lined with maroon colored textured
material. That material on the bottom section is intact although some
cracking along the base edge has occurred over time. Fortunately
nothing is loose and its still solid.
The 22" x 11" box cover is covered with the same maroon material.
Originally there were four variations of this cover (with and without
the scout, scout in lower right or upper left corners). It's in good
condition overall, although much cracking along the apron seams has
occurred. Sporadic wear on the edges has chipped off some of the maroon
covering as well. Of it's 66" of original apron approximately 5" are
missing. This includes two corner sections. However, the cover still
fits securely onto the box bottom.
By far the best set of its type I've seen!
