Description
Been playing with some of the odd ball stuff in my collection lately. PlastiMarx was a division of Marx that produced products in Mexico beginning in the mid 50's. This division was not part of the Quaker Oats 1972 acquisition of Marx and continued production until at least 1988. Due to unreliable electrical power in Mexico, most products were wind up or battery operated. The pieces running here are all later production with no Marx logo's on them, but came from original reworked Marx dies and molds. Quality leaves a lot to be desired, but some unusual and unique road names can be found. Somewhat hard to find being as they were never imported to the US.
