Marx Sears Allstate Happi Time Service station with elevator Tin Toy vintage

Description

Marx Sears Allstate Happi Time Service station with elevator Tin Toy vintage. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
This the the RARE Marx Happi-Time
ALLSTATE
service station with elevator.
The few variations of this model that are out there are usually in bad condition, often missing parts such as the elevator top, etc.
When I bought this (over 20 years ago) I was looking for this particular one... it had to be the full Marx Service station with elevator and it had to be the Allstate version!  (Why you ask?  Well, of course, because that is the one I had when I was young!)
I have not seen one exactly like this in years and years.
This original vintage service center with the elevator is in great condition.  There is no rust.  The elevator motor appears to be there, but placing in modern batteries does not cause it to run.  If you repair tin toys you should be able to get this working.
I have had this for over 20 years and I have decided to part with it!
THIS was a favorite toy when I was young.  I had purchased this many years ago as a display and a reminder.  Not many of this item in this condition are available.  It is a fun piece to display.
As you probably can tell, I really don't want to sell this item! It was a favorite toy of mine "back in the day" -- However, I keep promising myself that I would get rid of some of my collectibles.
(at least I THINK I'll get rid of it... hmmmm )
;)
NOTE:  ALL the cars, signage and people shown ARE INCLUDED!!!
A little about me:
I have been a member of eBay since March of 1997.  I have purchased hundreds and hundreds of items, and have a perfect buying record.
Now, more that 22 years later, I am going to sell a few of my things.  I have created this new seller's account to do the listings.
Thanks for viewing!
