Rick
Sebak calls the Marx Museum
ROCK'EM
SOCK'EM MAGNIFICENT
On a recent visit to Marshall
County, West Virgnia, Rick Sebak stopped for a
visit at the Marx Toy Museum.
Rick
referred to the Marx Museum as...the
Smithsonian of plastic army men and mighty metal
trucks! It's the Guggenheim of goofy old
wind-ups and vintage dollhouses. It's the
Carnegie of Big Wheels and plastic dinosaurs.
And it didn't take long before Rick
was standing face to face with a toy from his
childhood.
Read
all that Mr. Sebak had to say in the Pittsburgh
Magazine!!!
