Bought today, sold today!

We just sold this incredible, ultra-rare 1956 Precision Miniatures store counter display, produced by the iconic Ideal Toy Corporation. Introduced in the mid-1950s to capture the booming post-war hobby market, these "Easy-Build" all-plastic kits offered kids two historical models for just 39¢.

Merchant counters used these exact multi-tier cardboard displays to organize the models by eras, such as "Aircraft Through the Years" and "Locomotives Through the Years". Finding the individual kits is tough enough today, but finding a massive stack of 21 boxed kits alongside the original marquee display board is a true time-capsule discovery.
