Vintage 1947's MARX Toys Mechanical "B O Plenty" Tin Toy

Item Details

An awesome vintage 1947 lithograph mechanical wind up toy B. O. Plenty made by Marx Toys, made in USA. Plenty was a Dick Tracy character and was the husband of Gravel Gertie. This wind up toy depicts B. O. Plenty presenting his Baby Sparkle with a gift. The new baby Sparkle was brought to life when Marx created this B. O. Plenty wind up toy. Sparkle was quite the rage when she was first introduced. When you wind up Plenty he teeters along, his hat bouncing along as he goes. He doesn’t go very far but certainly wobbles a lot. His coloring and detail are wonderful. The back has the Marx logo, plus the following: ‘By permission of Famous Artist Syndicate Copyright by Chicago Tribune’. Key present. Working condition.

Condition

His condition is good to very good showing only minor wear with a few paint scuffs and a small amount of rusting. He works when you wind him up but needs a little nudging ever so often.
