The 6824 USMC First Aid Car is the most sought after piece from the famous 1805 Land-sea and air gift pack.  This unit was produced in 1960 only.  No orginal box was ever made for this piece however Madison Hardware purchased a large number of these pieces years later and reboxed them in another lionel box.  A sticker with 6824 was placed onto the box to then identify the unit.

The 6824 came with a blue man with painted face and hands.  In addition were two [2] stretchers and a two piece oxygen tank.  white heat stamped lettering was present and the car was olive drape in color.

Frequently when this item is offered for sale the steps are broken and the caboose window struts are broken.  Always inspect these areas prior to purchase.

A collector quality piece is worth every penny spent on this item.  Do not settle for less if investment value is considered in your purchase equation.

Finally the Madison Hardware boxes used are also worth money. Thus insure care with the box if one is lucky enough to obtain one.
