Marx Warriors of the World

I found these Marx "Warriors of the World" figures at a sale yesterday for $1 each.  They date from 1963 and are part of a larger series of Marx figures that featured everything from Pirates to American Indians to WWII soldiers to Knights and Roman soldiers and gladiators like mine below.  They stand 6" tall and are really pretty cool.  I was shocked at the $1 price tag.  Somebody didn't do their homework.

The Best Christmas Present I Never Got

My mom provided daycare for a couple of kids back in the 70’s when I was about 10.  It was a brother and sister and the boy was a year younger than me.  I recall one day shortly after Christmas he brought one of his presents over.  It was a Marx Magic Shot Shooting Gallery.  The Gallery was a plastic box similar in shape and size to a 13” tube tv with a piece of plexiglass closing off the targets inside.
