Lionel Vintage Postwar 6816 Flatcar with Bulldozer with Original Box [V21]

Description

Lionel Vintage Postwar 6816 Flatcar with Bulldozer
This is the best example of a vary rare car that
I've
seen in many years....!!
Totally original and very close to excellent except as noted herein
Bulldozer (type 4) is missing most of its "hitch"--only a shred of one side of what should be a tab with a hole remains
*
--see pictures
There also is a stain or discoloration spot on the left outer edge of the bulldozer blade--see pictures
Flatcar is near perfect except for obvious run marks on the wheels--see pictures
Box is original, but only P-4--both end flaps have been taped in place and all closure flaps are missing.  Display panel is still attached but just barely
No tiedown strap
All photos of actual items

Many thanks to a fellow train enthusiast for pointing this out!
