US Borax 1/48 Borax Twenty Mule Team and Wagon plastic model kit

1/48 US Borax Borax Twenty Mule Team and Wagon

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: NM

The Borax company commissioned this kit as a tie-in to the TV series 'Death Valley Days'. Originally a radio program, 'Death Valley Days' had a long run on television and ended as one of the longest running westerns in entertainment history. Very nice kit of the famous borax wagons that would cross 162 miles of Death Valley with 20 mules in the days before the railroad. There was not a single house or other sign of habitation along the route. One leg was 60 miles with no water. The two wagons carried 25 tons of Borax and the mules covered 16 to 18 miles a day with a two man crew. The sturdy wagons were purpose built for the trip. Although they carried huge loads, there is no record of one every being stranded. Never started. Still in the factory sealed bag with instructions.
