Description: Listed here is an absolute HESS GEM for any serious or avid Hess collector or enthusiast! A genuine PROTOTYPE that never reached production or sales due to the fact that the Hess company backed out of a massive production deal with NYLINT! Which is unfortunate because these toys are beautiful and solid, made with heavy steel and genuine weld points/rivets. Here is the Gasoline Tanker Truck. Dimensions: 26" long; about 6" deep; and about 7" high. This piece comes out of a living estate collection of a Hess collector who purchased these between the mid 80s to late '80s, a few years before Desert Storm began, as he told me specifically. There are only two of these made and neither reached the public for mass production or sales. This comes directly from a friend of his who knew a sales rep at Nylint who parted with them many years ago to the current gentleman I am selling them for. They are truly one of a kind and you will never see this again as there is only 1 other known in existence! The box is in GREAT condition, as clearly evident in the pictures provided. That said, please take a very close look at all provided pictures for condition! I am not an expert on toys from this era, or Hess toys. My expertise is antique toys from 1880-1950. As noted, I am currently helping a family friend with his living estate of Hess trucks, Nylint, Matchbox, Winross, NASCAR diecast, etc. This collection is located in the Pocono area of Northeastern Pennsylvania. So keep an eye on my other listings for this gentleman's collection as I continue to help him whittle it down to sell here. That said, if any of these listings are of interest and you're an avid Hess collector or you would like to know what else this gentleman has for sale, do not hesitate to reach out and contact me. He has rooms will of boxes of NOS Hess trucks unopened as they arrived at Hess gas stations from years ago. I will be listing the other prototype HESS Nylint truck as well; another rare gem, 1 of 2 made! So check out my seller's page and keep an eye if you're interested! ALL SERIOUS OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED! Note: all sales are final and this item is SOLD AS IS! So please view all provided pictures for any condition issues or to gauge the completeness of this rare toy. S&H will be $150 to cover costs; (this toy is large and heavy and requires a bigger box, which I purchased specifically to ensure safe delivery). This price also factors the cost of insurance overall. Note: I received a proper estimate from my local Post office to warrant such a shipping cost as well.
