1952 Marx, Deluxe Delivery Truck with Products in Original Box
Magnificent multicolored lithographed pressed steel litho stake truck with metal disc wheels complete with it's original box. Also includes its six original 1950's, small scale product boxes of Colgate Ribbon Dental Cream and Wrigley's Spearmint Gum. The products are still wrapped in the original factory rubber band. Awesome cab design using bold, contrasting colors of brilliant yellow and red with deep black highlights. Fantastic front grille designed in red, black, and yellow with embossed headlights. The red grille really makes it stand out from the front hood. Trailer is all red. Stake bed has the word "Deluxe" written in script within yellow and red circle. "Deluxe Delivery" lithoed in juxtaposition capitalized lettering as well. Back of the truck shows tail lights and Marx logo. As a final touch the interior of the stake bed was completely lithoed red! Fabulous metal disc balloon wheels lithoed with black rims and yellow "V" shaped treads. Notice that even the slightest amount of wear will show up (and there's none to be seen). Sidewalls lithoed in yellow with black highlights including "Marx" and tire size. Wheel hubs lithoed in a star shaped spoke pattern in red, yellow, and black. The box has a two color illustration of the truck on every panel. It shows it filled with number products. It's interesting to note that I sold a Marx, Deluxe Delivery Truck over three years ago. Although the same yellow, red, black, and white colors were used the placement of these colors was completely different. It had the same name, same size, same products, and the box was identical. Size: Truck 11" long, 4½" wide. Sold: Aug. 2006
