10th Annual Marx Museum Celebration

The Official Marx Toy Museum will celebrate its 10th Annual Celebration of Marx during the weekend of June 18th and 19th, 2010 in conjunction with the Toy and Train Museum's 12th Annual Marx Convention.  This will be a tremendous weekend for Marx enthusiasts, with a packed itinerary and an opportunity to gather with fellow collectors.

Marx Museum's - Gigantic Marx Sale Event HAS BEEN CANCELLED!!!
Each year, The Official Marx Toy Museum holds an annual fundraiser sale to help defray the costs of development, advertising, and operation of The Official Marx Toy Museum.  After much discussion, the sale for this year has been cancelled.  The reason is as follows:

In years past, the effort required to load, transport, unpack, set-up, have the sale, then pack-up, and transport, and return to storage ALL of the sale items (literally 55 tables of items last year) all within 24 hours has limited me, Francis Turner, from being able to truly enjoy the weekend and to visit with everyone at the Marx Convention in Wheeling. 

Since this is the 10th Anniversary of the Marx Museum, the museum hopes that collectors will gather to celebrate and support the Marx Toy Museum and its efforts to preserve toy history.  I look forward to being able to spend more time visiting with everyone who attends the show and sharing some exciting stories from the past few months.
