Vintage and Original, 1971 Hess "Season's Greetings" Fire Truck, made by Marx, Hong Kong. Scarce piece in the Hess truck collection to acquire. Hess re-introduced this fire truck from the previous year but ran out of the colorfulboxes midway through production and replaced them with a plain box with no graphics. Service station attendants were in charge of applying the “Season’s Greetings’ sticker on top of the box when the item was purchased at the stations. Based on some research, this 2nd issue box may be a reproduction as the box is too white and bottom of box is marked "Paper Box Corp". Battery compartment is clean, not tested. All decals are present and affixed. Pumper style truck with tworemovable hoses on one side and a ladder on the other side. Box includes all 4 cardboard inserts, battery instruction card, and season's greetings card. Box shows minor edge and corner wear.
