See Notes Yes $ 75
SOLD
A RARE item: one of the Plasticville Boxed Sets: contains one CC-9 Church, one RH-1 Ranch House (with white sides & chimney plus a blue roof), two street lights, three benches, two telephone poles, one evergreen tree, six shrubs and twelve pieces of house fence.
A peek inside the box.

Missing the gate & three pieces of fence plus some of the fencing is discolored. Also, the cross was glued.

Nice, sturdy, colorful (two-part) original box is a grade 8+ and it has all four of the inside dividing trays! The box has stains on the lid, a few scuffs and a couple pieces of tape that were probably put on at the factory to hold the lid on.

Boxed sets are described in one Plasticville guidebook as follows: "these scarce and attractive items are probably more desired by today's collectors than they were by the original owners." Further on, the author laments: "Sadly, the era of boxed sets is gone!"

The Church & House Unit was introduced in 1953 and the contents are common. However, the box is the key to this unusual piece!
LH-4 Two Story Colonial E++/OB Soon $ 10
SOLD
A Two-Story Colonial style house with tan sides plus a red roof and brown trim.

Missing the two porch roof posts plus the weather vane and the antenna.

Grade 8 original box (stains; tears; "aged" look).

SOLD
Livestock for your farm: the original contents included eighteen barnyard animals -- 3 horses, 3 resting cows, 4 standing cows, 4 pigs, and 4 sheep.

Missing two horses and one standing cow. The price (thirty-three cents an animal) reflects the fact that this item is incomplete.

Cat. # Item GradePhotoPriceDetails
No. 2 Signal Cabin E++/OB Yes $250
SOLD
A very nice, tin, lithographed English O-gauge signal cabin from 1956: very colorful with many features including stairs, chimney and a second floor with five sets of 6-pane open windows. Has simulated roof shingles (orange and green), simulated dark-red brickwork, simulated wood siding, simulated six-pane first- and second-floor windows (silver with green trim) and simulated side doors in green & black. Called a "switch tower" by non-British manufacturers. Measures 6 3/4 inches high, 6 1/2 inches wide & 4 1/2 inches deep.
Photo of the box and another view of the signal cabin.
Grade 7 original box (some tears & creases; minor tape).

Although very similar to Hornby's prewar signal cabin, the postwar version differs in many ways including colors, solid second floor, placement of Hornby identification marks, the absence of simulated fire buckets on the side and the absence of simulated brickwork for the chimney on the side. The major difference is that the back does not open like the prewar version. It is a very clean, attractive and unusual layout piece.

JEP - Accessories
Catalog # Item GradePhotoPriceDetails
6363 Automatic
Level Crossing
E++/OB Yes $300
SOLD
A gorgeous, all-metal "Automatic Level Crossing" with illuminated "Gate-keeper's Lodge." This O-gauge accessory was made in France in 1958 and appears not to have ever been used! Measures 13 1/4 inches long by 8 1/4 inches wide. The lodge is 5 1/2 inches high.

The entire accessory is very colorful: the base is painted forest green and beige; the gates are painted red and white with red counterweights; and the fencing and netting are painted white. The yellow lodge is particularly attractive and has many features including interior lighting plus simulated roof tiles (in red), simulated clocks under the roof peak on each side, simulated green vines growing on all four sides, simulated doors and windows with open panes trimmed in brown and simulated brown flower boxes under each of the windows.
Click here to see another view of this accessory.

Includes the original instruction sheet (# JEP 2204), the original inspection tag (REF 2091) and the original additional section of insulated track. This special piece of straight track enables the gates to come down only when the train is near the crossing; it can easily be adapted to meet any Lionel O-gauge track.
