~ Louis Marx Pressed Steel Livestock Lorry And 3 Pigs ~
A green Louis Marx pressed steel lorry with red plastic ‘fencing’.
It’s a big robust toy with a nice weight and features a wheel ‘clicker’ that makes a good sound as the toy is rolled forwards and back.
It features original “POWERHOUSE” decals on both sides of the cab. It has moveable wipers and tyres that are moulded with “Louis Marx & Co. Made in Gt. Britain” around the rims.
There are 3 same-scale plastic pigs that come with the lorry.
~ Dimensions ~
The lorry is 18 inches (46 cm) from bumper to bumper and stands 7.5 inches tall (19 cm).
It is 6.25 inches (16 cm wide) and with the pigs it weighs 1.9 Kg total.
~ Condition ~
The steel of the cab and the bumper is spotted with rust as is expected of a played-with toy.
The axles are straight and all wheels turn, the clicker really sounds great.
One wing mirror has broken off and the windscreen is cracked (but replaceable).
One of the pigs has lost the bottom portion of a trotter but still stands.
