LIONEL PRE-188 RARE 97 COAL SET 1942
| It is not too often you come across a rare piece with an even rarer original box!This is the "#188 Dump Car and Coal Elevator Set" from 1942The fully intact and very rare box has a picture of the coal elevator and two automatic coal unloading carsNote the error in the picture showing the controller with two push buttons instead of one push button, and one knob to turn on the chain loader for continual operationWe graded this unit as Excellent (C7) because there is one area of missing paint by the window on the track side of the elevator coal housing, pinhead dings, and each car has minor dings on the top rims of the binsHowever, Like New is more appropriate to describe the paint appearance of this 80 year accessory, along with the exceptional condition and appearance of the picture on the boxPlease note that everything is originalThe box is complete (I taped the inside seams to prevent any future loss of the flaps).
