Marx “Marx Merry Makers” Tin Lithographed Mouse Band Windup Toy *SOLD*

Marx “Marx Merry Makers” Tin Lithographed Mouse Band Windup Toy

Our Merry Maker set is the iconic Marx windup toy that everyone wants.  It was a close (but not quite) rendition of Mickey Mouse and tapped into Mouse Fever in the 1930’s.

Our Merry Maker taps away with one mouse, conducts, drums, and then plays piano all at the same time.  Marx was ingenious. Our toy is in very good to excellent condition with just a bit of use.  The windup works perfectly as does each mouse.
