Vintage Marx Toys 7 Presidents of The United States Figure Sets

Description: Here are three (3) of the five (5) individual boxed subsets of 60mm hard plastic Presidents figures that Marx put out when IKE began his first term as president (around 1963). As the story goes, Louis Marx and Eisenhower were close friends, even to the point that Ike was the godfather of one of Louis' sons! So when Ike won the White House, Marx released president figures, immortalizing his good friend as the sitting president! Anyway, ONE of many formats in which these figures were released was as a series of 5 boxed sets, which would add up to a complete set of presidents. This lot is for Series 3 (Buchanan, Lincoln, A. Johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, and Arthur), Series 4 (Cleveland, Harrison, McKinley, T. Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson, Harding), and Series 5 (Coolidge, Hoover, F. D. Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Mamie Eisenhower, and the "Victory Pose" of IKE). All of the figures in the Series 3 and 4 boxes are MINT. All in Series 5 are as well, EXCEPT that one of the tiny fingers on IKE's left hand was broken off and missing some time ago. The boxes themselves are decent, with some shelf wear (understandable for boxes that have been sitting around for over 50 years!), with the Series 5 being the worst, with some light damage on one end. I figured I would post these as one lot first (so that if someone is trying to build a set, they only have one shipping cost), then if nobody wants to do that, I'll split it up later into three auctions. Each individual box is approximately 16 3/4 inches by 3 3/4 inches by 1 1/2 inches. Photos show the boxes from all 6 sides, plus the contents of each, with a yardstick in the shots for size reference, plus a closeup to show the damage to IKE's finger. Priced reasonably with only actual USPS Ground Advantage or Priority Mail shipping on the just under 2 pound box charged to the winner!
