1963 Marx No.4938 Company Commander Combat Set in Original Box
This set was originally purchased by an elderly couple for their grandkids so they wouldn't be bored when they came to visit and was only recently found. It was stored since new, never used, and only just recently opened for the first time by the auction house that I purchased it from. The staples were carefully removed from one end, while the other remains factory sealed. This is the No. 4938 "Company Commander" Combat Line playset by Marx. It consists of 6 combat toys. Original box is printed in brilliant orange, dark yellow, olive green, black, and white. Two panels are illustrated with one GI machine gunner and a second GI wielding gun and grenade. Catalog number, list of contents, and Marx logo are printed on these panels as well. Two opposite panels have the toy name "pseudo"-stenciled in black and orange on white and olive green background. Endflaps are solid yellow and white. Also includes combination die cut cardboard machine gun insert. Printed with multiple schematic instructions showing machine gun assembly, pistol loading and firing, and grenade loading and operation. Size: Box 25½" x 5½" x 5½". Weight approx. 4lbs Sold: May 2010
