REX MARS Planet Patrol Sparkling Pistol RAY GUN & BOX, Marx, 1950s: Mint, Works!

Description

All original and incredibly scarce in box! The ray gun is mint and fully operational, with sparks shooting out of gun when fully wound. The original box is very good+, with a minor, closed tear on one panel and a rubbed portion on an end panel (see photos). Finding a mint, fully operational ray gun is difficult, but finding one with its original box, in excellent condition, is much harder. As you can see from the photos, the graphics on the box are wonderfully vivid, and the gun itself is a marvel of Art Deco design.
