Spotted this during some random searching. It's from 2019 so not sure why it didn't come up in previous searches but it caught my eye obviously. Despite the damage it looks mostly complete and would not have been too hard to repair. I'd have LOVED to get my hands on that!!  Brings my list up to close to 30 known examples world-wide. https://www.facebook.com...682035/1134877983348985/This was in a recycling centre near the town of Hof. Would love to know what it sold for, likely not much but then you never know. Image pasted below for those without FB  And how it would have looked ex-factory.... (I'm told anecdotally that the apprentices built these models as part of their experience training)  |

Hi cookee,
I asked myself the same question, this Wonder wheel is now in collectors Hand near Hof.
So it is rescued from the scrap Yard.
I will ask the owner If he Likes to Share some Pictures.
Greetings from Germany

Till That would be great, thanks. Might also refer to the FB group for Sales Aids - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1162550620883787 - Märklin - Sales Aids, Advertising, Shop Window Models I emailed you about that, and also about the Shop Window Layout on offer in Southern Sweden. Did you get those?  |

Wow, Ca $4500, plus buyers premium 23% adds another $1k, plus possible shipping. That's a lot of coin in anyone's money.
Anyone here the lucky winner? |

Wonder what the seller actually received in the end? These rare models are still holding their own. This one is in reasonably good condition, the front sign is not original, but that's not entirely uncommon. Mine was missing altogether. They are fun to get running again if any work is required.  |
