I believe first produced in 1935, these go from newer to older in the first picture.
What can I say, these things are an addiction. Marx made so many verities of this in the early days, even one with sponson guns like the large models. I pick them up when I see one I don't have and the price isn't too bad.
I could use some extra tracks, if you can't tell ;)

Nice collection!
Thanks for sharing your collection. As you said Marx made a wide variety of their toys over the years and it's great to be able to see examples as nice as these. I have one that is similar to your oldest with the difference being that it has a black turret and plain wheels. I also have the problem with the tracks since mine have dried and split.
Glad you like them! I'd love to see yours sometime.
The old ones are my favorite since they have the most variety. I have found that these "plasticy" types of Marx tracks hold up much better than the pure rubber of the German tanks I have. Even so, they tend to disappear like any other delicate part of a children's toy.
Will do.
Thanks for sharing this, as well as your other tanks yesterday, I can feel your enthusiasm for this field of collecting in your posts. Welcome aboard!
Hi
Do you have a source for rubber replacement tracks for the marx midget tanks?
