For your consideration today is a great 1978 Hess Toy Tanker Truck in Original Box for sale. What makes this truck special is that the bottom of the box has a stamp from the original Hess Station it was purchased at. The station stamp reads:

AMERADA HESS STATION 30239

PRINCETON & OLDEN ST.

TRENTON, N.J. 08638

Overall the truck is in great shape with some minor flaws. There are no missing pieces on the truck - everything is intact, original, and in great shape. All of the chrome pieces are present and shiny with no signs of tarnishing. The biggest flaw with the truck is that the white plastic strip on the tanker is yellowed, most noticeably on the driver’s side front but to lesser extents on other parts of the tanker. The decals are in great shape with some minor signs of wear such as dirt and scuff marks. Despite these flaws, the truck is truly in great shape and displays very nicely. Please review all photos of the truck for full details.

The battery compartment is clean and free of any corrosion but I was unable to get the lights to come on when tested. The red on/off switch is very stiff and I had difficulty moving it, which could be a contributor.

The original box is included in this auction in solid shape as well, though it is not perfect. The box top has a sizable brown stain towards the rear top corner as can be seen in the photos. There is also a very small ‘77’ written in pen along the box top. There are no major rips/tears along the box top, and all of the corners and edges are crisp. The box bottom is in excellent shape with no notable flaws. The station stamp presents very nicely as well! Please view all photos for full box details.

Both original cardboard inserts are included in this auction in great shape. The original battery card is also included in excellent shape as well.

Please review all photos before bidding. Photos are part of the listing description.
