Box? It came in a box?

They have more value if the instructions, handle, glass and motor chrome are all in good shape. They hold even more value if there is period die-cast held within.

I did indeed pick one up in pretty decent shape for around 25.00 but the real nice ones double that easy.

i'm sure it's worth more than 20.00 to someone who appreciates it!!! like myself, i have yet to find one in mint shape, always something missing or no chrome or no stickers etc....... so if you got a nice one in mint shape i'd say you've got a keeper for sure! remember it's not what it's worth to someone elese, it's what it's worth to you the collector.:thumbsup: :wave:

If it's in great shape I've seen them go for around $50 at toy shows, but that one was near mint.

Now, if it had a #1 on it instead of the #2, it would be a horse of a different color. ;)
