Bought one a few years back, had the fencing and missing the horses, for $25. Rather liked the looks, but haven't seen one since, either at train shows or eBay. Is this a common car or a rare one? I was told that it was common in the shape I had it (dull wheels, no horses), but the fact that I haven't seen ANY in 5 years has me wondering as to whether I have a rare item on my hands.
According to my TM price guide published in 2002 (so the price might be way off in today's market place), it has a rarity of 4 out of 5. The guide estimated worth is $175 with the 6 horses. It was only produced in '60 for Sears.
Probably the reason it's so seldom appears on the market is it was part of the Sears 1882 General Halloween Set. No one in there right mind would break up this set to sell the pieces individually. FYI: 6 reproduction horoses can be bought on eBay for around $18 plus shipping.
Yeh, snagged them.
