Default Marx Toy Museum

I subscribe to RoadsideAmerica.com and get en e-mail whenever they feel like sending one. Today's letter featured Marx Toy Museum. I included the link but it's only good for a week.

I had a lot of Marx toys growing up. I loved them all. I still have my Marx train set. I used the transformer for lots of "experiments" as a kid.

Default Marx Toy Museum

Marx was around for a long time. I loved the Johnny West series, but they had many cool toys.

I far preferred the Adam Smith toy museum.

You can KEEP your ****ed communist toys.

Hey,

Verna mentioned she had exchanged emails with you. Glad to see you finally made it through Check Point Charlie.

One of my favorite things was to have Johnny West and G.I. Joe shoot it out.

Great times to be a kid!
