Lionel #3519 Satellite Launching Car - Postwar with box

Here is a fairly hard to find item in excellent plus condition. The launching mechanism works. The flatcar is in like new condition overall, no breaks, cracks or rust. The satellite is a repro, so we have averaged it at excellent+ condition. The original box is in good condition. The flaps on one end are in poor shape but the box is still solid and sturdy.
