Item Description
6" dia. base with 4" long train. All tin litho. 1920s. This is the smallest and possibly the earliest of the many variations of the Marx Honeymoon Express Toys. Toy works by way of key under base and train revolves around base which depicts children swimming and rowing on top of platform and train scenes on sides as well as road sign lithography reading "Honeymoon Special Louis Marx & Co. N.Y. U.S.A." Toy has overall wear in the form of paint nicks and scratches. A small .25" square area of pinpoint oxidation is on top of platform, not offensive. Would benefit from a thorough cleaning. Fine.
