Marx Pressed Steel Car Carrier Truck *SOLD*
Marx Pressed Steel Car Carrier Truck
Our streamline later 1938s car carrier is a classic in beauty and simplicity. -Some call it a Car Hauler. Marx had a knack for making clean designs with a maximum of eye pop. Here we get Red, Yellow and Blue sprinkled with a couple of cars.
Condition is good with some oxidation on the hood. The front trim has most of its plating but has darkening from age. Both cars on top fit, but may be another period set of toys (or proper it is hard to know). We do see one drip of that cursed white house paint under the truck’s hood and out of sight.
The front Marx truck/tractor can be removed and the trailer pivots. Cars are removable.

Its products were often imprinted with the slogan, “One of the many Marx toys, have you all of them?” Arguably, Marx was the most well-known toy company through the late mid-20th century. Best known for their lithographed tin windup toys Marx was also one of the big four among American electric train manufacturers. Interestingly, Marx also successfully revived the Yo-Yo in 1928; it sold well even through the Depression.
