The Gerritt & Shirley Breininger Western Toy Collection

Founded by Louis and David Marx in New York City, Louis Marx and Company was an American toy manufacturer in operation from 1919 to 1980. The brand produced a wide range of dollhouses, cars and trains, toy soldiers, action figures, and mechanical tin toys. Their lithographed tin windup toys earned particularly wide recognition.

The set includes a Santa Claus holding firewood, a girl in a crêpe paper dress, a child standing on a snowball, a fisherman, a dancing girl, and more. A musical clockwork lithograph toy is also on offer. The lot depicts an animated banjo player seated on a checkerboard stage.
