Vintage Marx 1960s Tin Toy Helicopter 107th Marine Parachute Battalion READ

Seems to be a pretty rare one, not much history in the past two years from what I saw. Couple things right off the bat - all six blades are here, but as you can see, the front three are quite bent. I imagine someone with more knowledge than me could re-bend them maybe slightly heat them up? Secondly, this is a battery-operated toy that does not currently function. The battery compartment looks clean to me, but I could not get anything to happen.

The On/Off switch seems slightly off (not as much of a clear difference switching between the two as you would want or expect), not sure if that is the culprit or if it's something deeper. Cosmetically I think it's in quite good shape, especially for its age.

Not a lot of wear to the graphics or body in general. Stairs seem "ok" - they can fall open due to gravity if the helicopter is tilted that direction.

Approximately 16.5" long, 6" wide and 8 tall. Due to the scarcity of this I'm not really sure if this is appropriately priced or not. Give it a "Watch" if you are interested but think it's unfairly priced considering its condition, and at some point in the future I will send out an offer to watchers.

Then again, if it's appropriately priced or below value, someone might grab it right away, so get it while you can!
