    More of the store stock.  Maybe new? Was out probably on display and, when repacked, it was packed on top of the coal tray which left two small marks on the back and a few on the base.  But probably never operated as evident by looking inside and at the metal parts.  Very clean.  The insert still has the original tape on it.  [Very unusual]
    Original American Flyer from the late 1950's. Close to new, all original & fully intact, no rust. Patina & lettering very nice and bright. Cleaned and ready to go. May have a few slight marks, but overall looks almost new.  Hard to find in this top condition.  Collector quality. Reduced shipping cost for multiple items. Outside continental US, buyer pays actual postage.
    This is the highly desirable American Flyer 785 Operating Coal Loader. It comes complete with the controller, coal tray, AF #23 bag of coal and the original rare red painted roof. It also has the original instruction sheet. This was one of the most expensive accessories and thus is somewhat rare. It looks like it may be unused.  There are a few slight marks mostly on the edges of the back of building.  There aren't even any track marks on the green track bed.  [Very unusual]  It was so nice that we didn't even have to clean it.  It does looks close to new. The paint and patina are exceptionally nice and it looks like it was painted yesterday, not 60 plus years ago. All of the metal parts are very bright and shiny and new looking.  One of the nicest we have seen. The coal tray is an original American Flyer and it is brand new also and is the uncommon blue one.  The original box is probably a 8 plus on a 1 to 10 scale.  It is bricklike and the cardboard is nice and clean and the flaps are all intact.  It also comes with the nice, large original box insert.  It does have some marker on the back and one end and some tape on it.  It did though keep the loader in exceptionally nice condition.  A nice addition to any collection or layout.  See photos to confirm condition. A nice and new addition to any collection.
