I did quite a bit of research on the playset.. The Marx SKYSCRAPER Playset is one of the most sought after & toughest sets to find especially complete with box......
Skyscraper is unassembled and I don't know if it was ever assembled , most of the tabs are in great condition... All contents are original and in near mint to mint condition.... If you do a Google search, Type in.......
The playset is complete with the exception of 2 figures... #2 bank customer & # 10 the male pingpong player... The female pingpong is present but missing paddle and hand , the newspaper boy is present but missing paper in left hand... All accessorys are present (15 total) the pingpong table (#8) is missing 2 legs & the four wheel skid (#12) is missing its pull handle.
Set also includes original instruction sheet (does have tear)... The elevator motor & switch were tested with 2 new D cell batteries & works great. The Marx playset, the skyscraper structure itself measures 28 inches high, 13 inches wide, and 7-1/2 inches deep. However, its total height is 36 inches, with eight inches added by a cream-colored hard plastic tower (five inches) topped by a similar flag pole/spire (three inches) that sits on top of the building. Original Box is included but is somewhat rough condition. The SKYSCRAPER playset was released in 1954 it had no advertising play in the Wards and Sears Christmas catalogs. It only appeared in flyers from hardware and local toy stores which accounts somewhat for its rarity.... Please look at all photos closely and judge condition for yourself..More photos are available upon request.. Please ask questions if needed........ (DON'T HESITATE TO MAKE A REASONABLE OFFER I MIGHT ACCEPT IT)........
