This no reserve auction is for an original Lionel 163 Target Block Signal in its original plain white box complete with peripheral items. While Lionel produced the 163 from 1961 - 1966 and again from 1968 - 1969, this particular variation is from the last year of production. This piece shows very little, if any, sign of use. The envelope is rubber stamped 353-16 and contains 2 CTC Lockons, several insulating pins for "027", "O" and Super "O" track, as well as a Super "O" power bar. The box separately holds a 153 Contactor and a properly identified 452-15 Instruction Sheet with dual dates of 6/65 on the back page and 3-62 on page 4. The original box shows some limited shelf wear. The corners show some stress but not too bad. There is sticker residue on one end. It will be very hard to improve upon this unique late production piece. Please see the pictures for additional descriptive detail. Buyer pays $8.00 for S&H. I gladly refund any whole dollar amounts of excess postage. In addition to thinning out my own collection I have just been given a fairly large collection of high grade prewar and postwar items on consignment that I will be posting over the next few months. I have also received about 40-50 set boxes on consignment and will be listing them as well. 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 UPS Ground (large packages) or USPS first class or priority mail (small packages and envelopes) within 3 business days after payment clears. I reserve the right to choose the delivery method, whether that be UPS, USPS Priority Mail, First Class or Parcel Post 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 – ask for Pete. I appreciate your interest in my listings. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding! read more
