A is for Archive - Marx Newspaper Ad's

I've had a lazy weekend, took loads of photographs and scanned a fair bit, but didn't really get anything ready for the week, and I'll be lazy for a week or two now as I have tons of other stuff to catch-up on, but I will pop the odd piece up here when I can. Marx Advertisements from the 1950's today...

Also; a big shout-out today for Alex Desforges of Gloucestershire, who 'went the extra mile'.

Mirror - New York

From the locations of the MB stores I'm assuming this is a New York paper, and I think the tatty bit (long since trimmed-off; in the days before digital) stated "Mirror" or it wouldn't be in the notes, but whether in was 'New York Mirror' or just Mirror (or something else-mirror) I can't recall and the note isn't clear - my bad!

The San●Toy Land refers to the - missing - ad' above I think?

    New York Daily Mirror. The paper ended in the 60's and the stores were long gone by 1974 when I arrived in NYC. In fact by 1974 the Marx sets didn't seem to be in NYC store toy departments at all. Plastic seemed to have been replaced by sets of diecssts with odd small plastic figures.

    Cheers Terra! I thought there must be a reason for my writing the note but forgot why! Most of the stuff this lot came from from is early 50's, but there is a little from the '40's and some from the 60's, but it'll take years to sort out!
