We have for you another great find a rare, plastic, friction “Walt Disney’s Donald Duck Racing Kart” in box that was manufactured in Hong Kong by Louis Marx & Company of New York City, New York. This was given directly from Marx to a family in New York whom we procured these from.

When revved up Donald’s racing kart travels forward. The rubber tires are still intact, but as per usual with toys of this age, they may have discolored, petrified, warped, and/or cracked. We did not notice any issues. The box is in very good to great condition.

This piece is in great all original condition with no breaks, restorations, repairs, or touch-ups. This piece shows the usual patina, fading, dust, chips, scuffs, surface rust, scratches, missing accessories, and wear that are to be expected from age and display. It is approximately 5 ½” L.
