VINTAGE, LARGE, TIN BATTERY JEEP FROM CRAGSTAN FULLY WORKING WithORIGINAL BOX

  

THE KICKER HERE IS THAT THIS JEEP WORKS LIKE NEW AND ALL OF THE ORIGINAL FEATURES/FUNCTIONS STILL WORK PERFECTLY. THIS BATTERY JEEP HAS SOME COOL AND UNIQUE FEATURES, BELOW IS A LIST OF THESE FEATURES/FUNCTIONS THAT ALL STILL WORK.... MADE 100% OF PRESSED TIN (METAL). BATTERY POWERED USES 2 SIZE "D" BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED). TIN DRIVER & PASSENGER FACTORY REMOVABLE.

DIRECT DRIVE (NO BUMP'N GO STYLE DRIVE/ACTION). FORWARD DRIVE BY SWITCH IN JEEP (PUSH UP), 6. REVERSE DRIVE BY SWITCH IN JEEP (PUSH DOWN), 7. HEADLIGHTS TURN ON/OFF WITH SWITCH IN JEEP, 8. ORIGINAL RADIO AND ANTENNA, 9.

A COLLAPSIBLE FRONT WINDSHIELD (WINDSCREEN) W/ORIGINAL PLASTIC. HAVING HUNDREDS (REALLY THOUSANDS) OF MODEL S TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 90% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS COOL, TIN, BATTERY JEEP IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE. THIS IS A TAD OVER 12 INCHES (31CM) IN LENGTH AND IS AND ABOUT 5 INCHES (13CM) WIDE.

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PICTURES, YOU HAVE NO SIGNS OF RUST, CORROSION OR ABUSE OF ANY KIND. YOU DO HAVE TONS OF SMALL SHALLOW/LIGHT SCRATCHES LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE BODY & CHASSIS AS SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM A VINTAGE TIN MODEL WHICH WAS/IS USED, BUT, NO WHERE NEAR AS WHAT SHOULD BE OR COULD BE EXPECTED!!! THESE SLIGHT IMPERFECTIONS ARE REALLY DIFFICULT TO SEE DUE TO THE COLOR SCHEME AND LOCATIONS. MOST OF THE WEAR IS MORE APPARENT ON THE LIGHTER COLORS... LIKE THE RIMS AND BUMPERS.

THE "ATTACHMENTS" ARE ALL ORIGINAL AND STILL FACTORY ATTACHED TO INCLUDE THE FRONT BUMPER, FRONT SEATS, WINDSHIELD, REAR SEAT, STEERING WHEEL, REAR BUMPER, EXTRA GAS CAN, SPARE TIRE, RADIO AND ANTENNA. ALL FIVE (5) TIRES ARE ORIGINAL AND HAVE NO CRACKS, DRY-ROT OR FLAT SPOTS. ALL FIVE (5) WHEELS ARE MADE OF METAL AND ALSO ORIGINAL TO THIS JEEP.

ALL OF THE GRAPHICS ARE ALL DONE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY, SO THIS MEANS THAT THEIR HERE TO STAY. ALL OF THE COLORS ARE STILL SHARP AND POP VERY NICELY. YOU HAVE NO FEAR OF THESE GRAPHICS EVER COMING OFF AND NO BLEEDING THROUGH OF THE GLUE! THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER ARE ALSO MADE OF PRESSED METAL AND HAVE FULL TIN LITHOGRAPHY ON THEM AS WELL, THESE GUYS ARE FULLY INTERCHANGEABLE. THE CHASSIS IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND SHOWS SOME SIGNS AND AREAS OF USAGE AND WEAR, LIKE SOME VERY SHALLOW SCRATCHES HERE AND THERE.

THE ORIGINAL BOX HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS, BUT, IS HERE AND MOSTLY COMPLETE. THE LID HAS SOME TAPE ON BOTH SIDES AS ALL OF THE FOUR (4) CORNERS ARE TORN. YOU HAVE ONE OR TWO SMALL PIECES WHIC H HAVE BROKE OFF DUE TO THIS LID BECOMING BRITTLE, THESE PIECES ARE WITHIN THE BASE. YOU ALSO HAVE SOME TEARS ON SOME OF THE EDGES. THE COLORS ARE STILL SHARP FOR THIS BOXES AGE.

THE BASE HAS TWELVE (12) STAPLES WHICH HOLD IT TOGETHER AND ONE (1) OF THE SEAMS IS NOT CONNECTED AS IT HAS ALSO BEEN TORN. THE GRAPHICS ARE STILL VERY SHARP AND THIS BOX DOES DISPLAY VERY NICELY. THE ORIGINAL FACTORY "NOTE" IS STILL FACTORY GLUED INTO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE LID, WITH THE BASIC INSTRUCTIONS ON THE LIDS SMALLER SIDES. THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE AND BASIC MODEL TO OPERATE. AFTER OPENING THE BOX AND GENTLY EXTRACTING THE JEEP FROM IT, YOU OPEN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT LOCATED IN THE FRONT WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD BE AND INSERT THE TWO (2) SIZE "D" BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED AND AS INSTRUCTED). THE TIN BATTERY COMPARTMENTS LID IS ALSO THE HOOD! NOW PLACE THIS MODEL ON A HARD SURFACE.....

KEEP IN MIND THAT MOST TO ALL VINTAGE MODELS WERE MADE TO BE PLACED ON A HARD SURFACE AND NOT ON A CARPET. CARPET WAS NOT A POPULAR ITEM BACK IN 1960'S AND EARLY 1970'S AS IT WAS DEEMED A LUXURY AND VERY COSTLY WHEN COMPARED TO LINOLEUM OR EVEN HARD WOOD FLOORING.

WITH THIS BEING SAID, THIS PARTICULAR JEEP WORKS WELL ON ANY PILE OF CARPET. SO WITH THIS PLACED DOWN, YOU NOW SWITCH THIS "ON" BY MOVING THE LONGER LEVER (THE ONE CLOSEST TO THE STEERING WHEEL) UP. THIS WILL START THIS JEEP GOING FORWARD. YOU CAN STEER THIS JEEP BY TURNING IT'S TINY STEERING WHEEL. WHEN YOU PLACE THIS LEVER IN THE MIDDLE, THIS IS THE "OFF" POSITION AND WHEN PUSHED "DOWN", THIS JEEP WILL GO IN REVERSE.

THE SMALLER LEVER TO THE RIGHT (OR CLOSEST TO THE PASSENGER SIDES DOOR) CONTROLS THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS AND BY LIFTING THIS LEVER "UP" WILL TURN ON BOTH FRONT HEADLIGHTS. I DID NOTICE THAT ON OCCASION, YOU DO HAVE TO PUSH IN THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT AS THESE DO SCREW INTO PLACE VERY LOOSELY, SO IF YOU SWITCH THE LEVER UP AND ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT LIGHTS UP... SIMPLY GIVE THE LIGHT BULB A SIMPLE AND LIGHT PUSH-IN. ONCE AGAIN, YOU CAN ALSO CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THIS JEEP AS THE FRONT WHEELS ARE DESIGNED TO BE TURNED TO DIRECT THIS JEEP. FROM IT'S STEERING WHEEL.

I DO ASK THAT YOU TAKE YOUR TIME AND FULLY ABSORB ALL OF MY PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR GREATER JOB OF SHOWING YOU THE ACTUAL OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION OF THIS JEEP VS. HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO ADD BATTERIES OR TO WIND UP A TOY?

I TEST ALL OF MY LISTINGS (IF APPLICABLE), TWICE! ONCE, WHEN I OPT TO LIST IT AND AGAIN PRIOR TO ME SENDING IT OFF. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I WILL DO THINGS AND THE ONLY WAY I HAVE DONE THINGS HERE ON E-BAY! AS I HAVE MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS CRAGSTAN.

IS FULLY TESTED AND RUNS AS IT IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH NO ISSUES AND ALL OF THE ORIGINAL FEATURES DO WORK. THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW STORE FOR ME HERE ON E-BAY, BUT, I COME WITH A WELL OILED AND POLISHED TRACK RECORD! A TOP/RATED GOLD POWERSELLER WITH OVER 8 YEARS OF THIS STATUS BACKING ME. I SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND.

I HAVE A UPS ACCOUNT AND MOST OF MY OFFERINGS HERE SHALL BE SENT THAT WAY. I PACK EACH AND EVERY ITEM MYSELF AND DO SO AS IF I WERE RECEIVING IT. UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME RUN-INS WITH SOME VERY SCRUPULOUS INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, WHO BY THEIR NATURE "DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS". CONSEQUENTLY, I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE EBAYS GSP AS THIS DOES OFFER "WE THE SELLERS" SOME ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FROM THESE FOLKS.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS THIS DOES APPLY TO YOU. AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS IS A NEW AREA FOR ME (HERE ON E-BAY) AND I DO TRY MY BEST TO DO AS GOOD AS I CAN. THIS HAS BECOME A FULL TIME BUSINESS FOR ME AND I REALLY ENJOY DOING IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TILL IT BECOMES A BURDEN AND I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY IT. I WILL BE ADDING TO THIS STORE WEEKLY (OR TRYING TO) AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THAT I DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY AND DO SO IN A VERY TIMELY FASHION. LATE LAST WEEK, I SO LD A FEW OF MY NE W LY LIST ED MODELS , SO IT MIGHT TAKE SOME TIME TO GET AHEAD HERE!

BE SURE TO CHECK ME OUT OFTEN AS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MIGHT SEE THA T SOMETHING SPECIAL WHICH MIGHT JUST FILL THAT VOID IN YOUR PERSONAL COLLECTION! WHAT A NICE GIFT THIS TIN "BATTERY JEEP" WOULD MAKE!! YOU'LL BE HARD PRESSED TO EVER LOCATE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE IN ANY CONDITION, LET ALONE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE AND WORKS LIKE THIS ONE DOES AND STILL HAS IT'S ORIGINAL BOX!

THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT ADDITION FOR SOME ONE'S U. ARMY, JEEP, MILITARY, JAPANESE, TIN, ETC. IT'S NOT ONLY RARE, BUT IN PERFECT AND IN FULLY OPERATIONAL CONDITION/SHAPE! THIS IS WHERE I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE.

IN ORDER TO VIEW MY LISTINGS IN A CONCISE AND ORDERLY FASHION, ALL YOU NEED DO IS TO LOCATE THAT SMALL " BLUE " OR "RED" DOOR A TOP THIS PAGE. THIS IS LOCATED JUST BELOW MY SELLERS ID AND FEEDBACK TALLY. THE VIRTUAL DOOR TO MY STORE HERE ON E-BAY!
