Marx Battleground, Training Center, and Other Military Playset Pieces - Marx Repo Destroyed Building

This Marx 'destroyed' cabin is a rare piece which came, I believe, in only one or two playsets. Why Marx didn't include it in more sets is a beyond anyone's ability to successfully answer. The scarcity is such that these command premium prices. So, when this repo came up for sale some years back on fleaBay at a reasonable price, I snatched it up. It's a case of good 'nuff. Based on Marx's downsized cabin, it's made of heavy cardstock laminated with glossy photo copies of the actual building components all held together by hot glue. My only complaint is that hot glue was used on the outside of the building to hold the roof to the walls. Most of the time you can't see it but it is unsightly. It did not include a chimney of any kind. It measures: o'all 8.625" (21.90cm) W x at roof, 4.5" (11.43cm) D at roof, x 4.25" (10.79cm) H at roof peak.

My only complaint: using hot glue on the outside, where it can be seen easily
