The MARX company really hit a home run with this giant in the 1960s. It is a marvelous machine. It runs on four D-cell batteries and runs forward & reverse, the bucket raises & lowers, and also rotates. There's even a function that runs the plastic fireman up and down a tall two-section ladder.
I'm fortunate to have a complete piece with both ladders, both blue firemen, a manual water pump and the original box. It is a cherished toy in my collection of battery-operated toys.
Hello. I received this toy at Christmas in 1967. It was the last gift I received from my mother before she passed away in July 1968. I read that you have also the original box.Would it be possible to post a picture of the box.
Thank you.

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your story. I'm sorry to hear about your mother. The box is at another location, but I will be sure to take a couple pictures of the box and post them here for you, Mr. Rufiange. Thanks again for sharing your story.
