This is the scarcer version with all Nickle Trim which is evident in the photographs.This is an item from around 1930-1935 and still in  un-run condition. Overall the body of the car and trim is exceptional. You can see this in the close up pictures. The roof is also bright and shiny, but does have two blemishes. The third picture shows a few tiny pin head paint spots in the dark blue of the roof. The fifth picture shows the other roof blemish which appears to be a box rub or sun fade. I have had this car since the mid nineties and there has not been any additional deterioration of either blemish. I bought it at auction of a closed West Coast Lionel Dealership. When you look very closely at the two sides of the car, one side is slightly lighter than the other. Although the car is unrun there are minor scratches on the bottom where the trucks hit the base underneath.   THE STARTING PRICE HAS BEEN REDUCED BY $100. THIS ITEM WILL NOT BE RE LISTED. Place a Bid!
