Un-lithoed Wrecker


The 550 wrecker has always been one of my favorite Marx 6" cars. This example is a red-orange rather than the normal orange. Also, it does not have the word "WRECKER" printed on the cab sides.

Un-lithoed Wrecker

This one is unusual in that the cab was not lithographed at all. It makes one wonder why it was produced this way. Was it a mistake, a shortage of litho sheets, or was it a cost cutting measure?
This is the first one of these I have seen but others have indicated that they're around. I wish one was around me!
