I wanted a windup and a Bing and got the opportunity to get both.
These are among the best condition, prewar trains I ever acquired. There is virtually no rust or scratches. There may be one little touch up spot on the bottom of the tender. The litho looks great. The box is coming apart, but it has all its flaps. It even came with the track and the section that stops the train.

fantastic acquisition, George. looks like it was stored in a safe deposit box.

Thank you Jim! Any idea about the wheels on the engine? The number of spokes seem like a lot for this set. I would think this is a low-end set, but the wheels appear to be more elaborate than what you would find on low-end sets. If I didn't know anything about Bing and just looked at condition, I would think this was a set from the 60's, but Bing went out of business in the 30's.
