Helicopter LM-6040, Marx, Great Britain.
Original tin plate 'Helicopter' produced for Marx, Great Britain (in Hong Kong) for the British market. Marked with the older British version of the Marx trade mark and 'Empire Made'. Pre 1970. In original colourful box.
n.b. This is the civil version, there were several other versions available which may be either friction drive or battery operated.
Mechanism:- Battery operated with remote control. Uses one D size battery.
Action:- Moves forward or backward with spinning main rotor.
Size:- 9.00 inches approx. max dimension with main rotor fitted.
Condition:- In very good condition. Tested and working. The toy doesn't appear to have been played with. The parts which are not lithographed (plain silver) are a little tarnished. The colourful box is in pretty good condition but two end flaps, one main and one side, have been repaired (my repair using gummed brown paper tape/picture framers tape, water soluble adhesive, can be removed if required). Please see photos (open in new tab/window to see full size image).
