ANTIQUE 1931 LOUIS MARX & CO TIN WIND UP MERRY MAKERS MOUSE BAND w/ ORIGINAL BOX

Description

Originally introduced by Louis Marx Toys in 1931 is this delightfully entertaining " MARX MERRY MAKERS " Mouse Band as shown in our photos. This is the most highly successful windup tin toy that Marx ever manufactured. After winding and moving the lever to Play the band members dance, play the piano and drum while the conductor seating atop the piano waves his conductors wand.  Although the Merry Makers Band is over 80 yeas old the characters all function perfectly to our amusement. The cardboard Marx Merry Makers box  is 100% original and authentic. Over the years it shows some shelf wear and the flaps have broken off but are there for repair by the new owner. The Louis Marx Merry Makers Mouse Band is the highlight of any serious collection. Please feel free to contact us with any other question or concern. We recently purchased a portion of the Nick Monios lifetime tin windup toy collection in Long Beach California and will be listing them as quickly as possible for other collectors to enjoy.....Keep checking back weekly...thanks
