Here are the next few pages from the Marx 1953 catalog as scanned by Rich Henderson. The first nine pages presented last week were repeats of the 1952 catalog but from here on in there are some changes. I'll let you compare the two :-)  Enjoy!

CORRECTION June 23, 2012
The blog title has been changed to correct the page numbering. Turns out I had totally forgotten to to scan pages 10 & 11. Those two pages have now been added to the May 8, 2012 post.


Here's the last pages from Marx's 1952 Accessory Catalog. Enjoy!

Marx 1975 Catalog - pgs 41 - 46

Today marks the final installment of the Marx 1975 catalog here on Toys & Stuff. The last pages are devoted to trains and it's a rather melancholy look at the remnants of a once great product line that defined the youth of many a boy for decades. In 1972 Louis Marx sold his company to Quaker Oats (who owned Fisher-Price) but they could not make a successful go at it. In 1975 Quaker closed the Erie and Girard plants and by 1976 sold the Marx brand to the British conglomerate of Dunbee-Crombie-Marx. Unfortunately times were rough and they collapsed in 1979. The last American Marx plant, located in Virginia, was closed in 1980.  A sad end to what was once the largest toy company on Earth. Enjoy these last pages!
