Up for auction is a lot of two Pre-War Lionel No. 113 Standard Gauge Cattle Cars, an exceptional find for model train enthusiasts and collectors alike. Each car showcases the distinctive olive green paint scheme that's both classic and highly sought after. These cars date back to the pre-WWII era (1926-1942) and are renowned for their robust all-metal construction, which was characteristic of Lionel's early production.

**Dimensions:** Each car measures approximately 10 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 3 inches high.

**Condition:** Both cars are in good condition and exhibit overall playwear, with multiple scratches and scuffs that reflect their age. The surfaces show significant dust and grime, along with some areas of paint loss. The wheels, axles, and couplers have moderate surface rust, a common occurrence for vintage items like these. Notably, one car features a vintage paper sticker on the underside, with the other clearly stamped 'MADE IN U.S.A. BY THE LIONEL CORPORATION NEW YORK' and '113'. Both cars have functional sliding doors, preserving the original functionality that collectors admire.

These examples come complete with original trucks, couplers, and brake wheels, making them a worthwhile addition to any train collection. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a piece of Lionel history!

If you paid for the item via Lodestar Auctions or Proxibid we will have your items packaged and send you a link to choose and pay for shipping on the Lodestar Auctions Website.

**Important** Live Auctioneers has their own shipping program. We find it to be very expensive and slow. This is the rate you see advertised when bidding. We do not recommend using them. If you do use them you must checkout via Live Auctioneers and choose LiveShip at checkout. If you pay via Live Auctioneers and want our In-house shipping you must choose self-arranged shipping at checkout. If you checkout via Lodestar Auctions this does not apply. I apologize if this is confusing, Live Auctioneers purposely arranged it this way to push their own overpriced shipping service. We are not happy about this and are trying to make it work.
