Ives 195 Vintage Standard Gauge Tinplate Caboose

Here is an Ives 195 Vintage Standard Gauge Tinplate Caboose. The caboose was one of Ives most delightful wide gauge cars and represented the virtues and dilemmas of built-up construction. The charm of the caboose was in large part the result of the intricate piece-work created Ives soldering technique. Some of the pieces added to the caboose body were window frame sills, tool box, cupola, smokestack assembly, end railings and brake wheel.

This item has been graded per TCA standards C-5: Good based on visual appearance. The paint on this is ruff, bubbly and missing throughout various sections of this caboose. There is some rust and bending to sections of the car. The coupler on one end is missing and needs to be replaced. Looks like the previous owner replaced the wheels and trucks. The overall appearance of this item may be improved with a gentle and thorough cleaning. The instruction manual is not included. The original box is not included. Please check the photos for a detailed look at this item. Overall condition is Good.
