Prewar Lionel Standard Gauge "Yellow Primer" #116 Hopper Car

Description

I'm not sure exactly what's happening with this one. It's an early yellow primer car, but it seems like the sides have been repainted in yellow very long ago, or the original paint has been removed and only yellow primer remains? Or it is just a yellow no.116? I'll leave it up to the Lionel historians to sort out. The sides look like they have some varnish over them. The lever for the door on the bottom of the car is broken off. Please take a close look at the photos and message me with any questions.
