Some Marx Models for Januari 2011 came in this week...

I found some Marx models from the USA on ebay some weeks ago.
Strangely enough in Germany, because they are hard to find here in Europe.
They are from the 1950's and 1960's, made in one-coloured plastic, mostly white.
I found 4 models of the bigger North-American forest-animals, and one of the marine animals.
the seller wa so very kind to send my a group of Hong-kong models from the 1970's too, and some China models too, from the 1980's.
Here they are;

Hong Kong and China lot 1970's and 1980's, always nice to get a present!
I had most of those models, but still these were variations...
The grey hippo, and green rhino are not known to me as copies of any brand(yet...), the rest are Britains copies, the elephant is a Domplast copy.

Wonderful additions Willy, congratulations - the stag is really lovely.

Congratulation Willy !

Those oldies are really awesome, the sculpting are very very fine indeed.

They are beautyful, Willy, congratulations
Like Christoph says, they are extremely well made, not least for the time they are from, I think.
The fox is one of the best, I have seen ! But they are all very fine indeed !

Beautiful indeed, those should be a guide for modern sculptors...

Thank you Harriet, Christoph, Susanne and TSITL!
I was very surprised to stumble on them here in Europe on ebay actually, and not very expensive either.
How more i get of these un-painted one colour animals, how more i love them!
There is already one vitrine, almost filled up with these critters...
The sculpting is very nice indeed, but that is no surprise for collectors that have more older brands like Christophe and me...
By the way Christophe, how did you clear up the picture?
I have a few more for you to clear up, about 4000 or so, haha.

I just LOVE those extra tiny animals we find in lots. They are perfect to make board games!

These ar enot so tiny actually, about the 1:24 scale...

Thank you Ana!
They are about 60 years old now, and not even bad sculpts!
