Original vintage Louis Marx & Co. Buck Rogers Rocket Police Patrol lithographed tin wind-up spaceship, dating to approximately the 1930s.
The winding mechanism works and the toy operates when switched from STOP to START. However, the sparking feature does not currently produce sparks. The rear spark/flint area is open, and the toy may be missing its original rear spark cover or related component. It has not been disassembled, serviced or repaired.
This example shows substantial age and play wear throughout, including scratches, paint and lithograph loss, surface oxidation, rust, discoloration, soiling, small dents, bends and edge wear. The wings, upper fin, wheels, winding key and stop/start control are present as shown. Please examine the photographs closely for exact condition and completeness.
