This no reserve auction is for an original Lionel 115 City Station in near pristine condition. Lionel manufactured the majestic 115 during the prewar era from 1936 - 1942 and during the postwar era from 1946 - 1949. This one sits in a nice 2-cities box which dates it to 1949 production. Judging from the condition of everything about this piece I doubt it has been out of the box too many times. The original red and cream paint shows very few contact marks. There is a small area on the corner of the building that has touch up that appears to have been done at the factory. There is no post factory restoration of any kind. One corner on the red base has an indentation but nothing is broken. The 115-11 envelope containing the instruction sheet, wires, 2 lockons and fibre pins is still factory sealed. The 40-3 Frosted 18 Volt Lamps are in their original mini-boxes. The red skylight is still nestled in its original Lionel wrapping paper. The open end of the box shows the die-cut protective corrugated cardboard insert. The opposite end was protected by original Lionel wrapping paper. Finally, the cream colored inspection slip is present. The original box is complete and strong with all flaps firmly attached. The seam tape is original. There is some tape on the box that identifies the original retailer as Lampack's Tire Service. The word "Lampack's" is written in cursive on one side of the box. The end label on the open end shows some fading and spotting which is common for this piece. Please review the photos for additional descriptive detail. This is a museum quality piece that will be very difficult to improve upon. It will make a great addition to even the most advanced postwar accessory collection. Buyer pays $12.75 for S&H plus the actual cost of insurance as quoted by USPS. Please wait for an invoice before paying. Please also note that I am glad to refund excess postage if the actual cost is $1.00 or more above the estimate provided in this listing. If you would be interested in selling or consigning all or pieces of your collection please feel free to contact me to discuss. I have been a member of the TCA for more than 20 years so you can . I am in the process of thinning out a lifetime train collection that started in the early 1970’s. It includes many rare and unusual items most of which are very high quality in original packaging. Some examples are a boxed 460P Piggyback Platform, boxed 3356-150 Horse Corral Platform, dealer and factory sealed items, as well as many pre and post war boxed sets. Most of my collection is Lionel with some Ives, American Flyer and other manufacturers represented. I do not have a collection list to share at this time. When practical, multiple items may be sent together to save on shipping costs. All items are carefully packed and typically shipped via USPS priority mail, first class or parcel post within 3 business days after payment clears. I reserve the right to select the shipping method at my discretion. Shipping is not a profit center for me so if I overestimate the cost I will gladly refund the difference of any full dollar amounts. Payment via Paypal is expected within 3 days unless other arrangements have been made. eBay rules require you to inquire about alternative payment methods. TCA member are given special consideration. I am willing to work with buyers on any reasonable request. My objective is for both of us to have a positive experience. Questions during the auction are encouraged as returns will be accepted only if the item is not as described. Your inquiries are very important to me and I will make best efforts to be prompt and thorough with my responses. However, because train collecting and eBay are not my primary business my ability to continuously monitor and quickly respond to eBay related communications may be limited. Kindly allow for a reasonable response time to your questions. Alternatively, please feel free to call me at –... read more
