See my other listings for more cars from this scarce 1930's era set. Selling each car individually. Here as an excerpt from the Train Collectors Association Western Division website about these collectible scarce Joy Line Train Cars - I thank them for their expertise. In the 1930's Joy Line put out a series of 4 inch tin lithographed trains intended for track use. Four wheeled freight and passenger cars were part of the line of both windup and electric trains. The trains were whimsical, colorfully lithographed but affordable. Joy Line trains were very toy-like, not models, with only a passing resemblance to actual trains. There were 5 basic types of freight cars made. The colorful names used were the 'Venice Gondola', 'Everful Tank Car', 'Contractor Dump Car', 'Hobo Rest Boxcar' and 'Eagle Eye Caboose'. Each car measured 4½ inches in length, 2 inches wide and 3 inches high. All were attractively lithographed in 4 or 5 snappy colors. Catalogs stated that they were, "sturdily constructed and will fit any standard 'O' gauge track." Will ship priority mail with full insurance due to value of this car. This item was part of a large group of Marx train cars purchased from a dedicated Marx collector. Will be listing more cars over the next few months, see my other listings for more rare and unique cars from his collection. Used Vintage Condition - Sold AS-IS.
