Description :
Vintage Marx Alaska Playset - 1958
Wow, this is a real great set
despite the fact that there are no penguins in Alaska….
This elaborate 1950s playset set
from Marx Company includes Native folks going about various subsistence
activities, non-Native scientists with a lot of guns, several wolves, a polar
bear, dog teams, a whale, and penguins (!) amongst other denizens of the frozen
North. There is a tin litho research perimeter fence for the International
Geophysical Year Lab the set celebrates. Unfortunately, the Quonset Hut that is
supposed to house the research station is not present. However, most of the scientific
furnishings that belong inside the hut are present as is the obligatory trio of
igloos we assume the makers thought the Natives lived in year-round. Chalk it
up to Hollywood movies and a lack of general knowledge about the soon-to-be
newest state in the late 1950s.
Condition of everything present is
excellent – please see photos. For a partial set, see If you love the set but really
need the Quonset hut, they do come up for sale occasionally: Marx
