here is a Marx tunnel that was in a boxed Army set i have, the double decker box is constructed in a way that i have no doubt the tunnel was original to the set...
is it small ... 9" long. 8" wide at the base and 6" tall. seems to be made from some sort of paper covered with a textured paint. quite fragile.

Interesting. I have a similar constructed tunnel with a boxed American Flyer set. The artwork for the set shows the odd fragile tunnel and is visibly different from artwork for other Flyer tunnels.

The set below is a Nation Wide Lines version of a Skylark set. The one difference I see between the two tunnels is the paint job.

I will say that I have researched Flyer tunnels and from what I have read, Flyer did not make its own tunnels. In my research of Flyer tunnels I have noted at least 3 different manufacturers of tunnels for Flyer and note at least 4 different tunnel designs of Flyer tunnels.
