Anti-Aircraft Gun


Marx military production was never ending. Military trains, playsets, stand alone toys, you name it, Marx made it. This Anti-Aircraft gun is one of the pieces I particularly like. It should have an diamond shaped sight on top which is the same piece as the antanna on the six-inch tin radio car. These cool toys actually shot little wooden projectiles at your crummy Lionel equipment. Payback is hell!

Sparkling Mountain Climbing Train

Marx made this smaller Anti-Aircraft gun mounted on a flatcar for their military train. In typical Marx fashion the gun was mounted on this trailer (as well as other toys) and used to shoot down tin soldiers known today as thin tins. The example facing you is a rarer British made example. Note the Louis Marx and Co. Swansea printed on the wheels.
