SORRY SOLD - Marx Fort Apache set 59775 circa 1967. 59775 label covers box number which is 3681. This is the harder to find transition set where Marx went from the Ft.Apache/Alamo pioneers to the new 7th Cavalry figures. The older sets came with two sets of 10 Ft.Apache/Alamo pioneers for a total of twenty figures. This transition set gets one set of 16 foot 7th cavalry + 1 set of 9 mounted 7th cavalry for a total of 25 figures. The set also has one 16 piece set of Indians with totem pole like the earlier sets, but it also had 5 extra Indians for a total of 1 totem pole and 20 Indians. The older version only needed 4 horses and although this version needs 9 only 4 were included. So perhaps instead of 5 extra Indians they meant to put in 5 extra horses but who knows. This set hardly looks played with. It has; box, instructions and litho flag & metal cavalry supply building with brown hard plastic parts (porch hooks STILL INTACT), figures as mentioned above, one Indian pony, Fort with gate & 2 doors, 2 L shaped walls, 2 walls with ledges, 6 walls no ledges, four ladders and two 2 piece blockhouses. Also 1 tan 2 piece teepee & black hard plastic shooting cannon with 9 shells (missing one). Box has dividers. Very nice and complete set missing only the one cannon shell. Note this version did not contain any outside accessories.
SORRY SOLD - Fort Apache 3681 Playset NO INSTRUCTIONS OR BOX DIVIDERS. Photo box one corner split and crayon on the backside. Tin building has all plastic parts (hooks off of porch). Redbrown fort; gate with two doors, 6 walls, 2 walls with ledges, 2 "L" walls, 2 scaling ladders & two 2pc guard towers may be a put together job. Two complete sets of 10 pioneers in aqua blue + One 16 pc set of Indians with revised poses in caramel. Four cavalry horses + one Indian pony. Shell shooting cannon (NO SHELLS) + 10 piece outdoor accessory group & 2 piece teepee in flesh. Nice lot of stuff.
SORRY SOLD - Fort Apache Carryall circa 1970. Has metal case with hard plastic towers & ladders + a vacuform building. These sets would come with a set of nine mounted 7th cavalry and either the ten figure Ft Apache pioneers or the sixteen figure foot 7th cavalry + one 16 piece set of Indians with totem pole. We have included BOTH the Ft Apache pioneers and foot 7th cavalry for 35 defenders and a SECOND set of Indians + ALL FOUR revised poses for a total of two totem poles and 34 Indians. Plus 13 horses, cannon and stockade accessories (dipwell broken and no pot on sticks for cookfire). Case is in superior condition, A GREAT BUY.

CEREAL PREMIUM CHARACTER FIGURES
Both sets have been said to be by Marx. A careful examination of the Marx mold list erases this thought as there is no evidence that Marx made either of the following two groups of cereal premium figures. Early toy figure dealers knew that Marx figures sold for higher prices and so labeled these figures as Marx. We do not know who made them but we do know that Marx did not. The same problem exists on ebay as many many auctions label nonMarx figures as Marx in hope of getting a higher sale price.
Some of the poses are copies of Marx figures which added to the speculation that they were made by Marx. We do not know who made them but we do know it was not Marx. There are nine different figures in the set. They are about 54mm in size and were made in white and cream colors.
SEE PREMIUM PAGE FOR AVAILABILITY
These were not made by Marx either, but perhaps by the same maker who made the copies of Marx fish also used as cereal premiums.

WESTERN CHARACTER FIGURES
- 
Marx made Roy Rogers playset figures in both 60mm (older) and 54mm scales. The earliest 60mm figures are made of a rubber like vinyl and do not have bases. There were two foot and one mounted pose of Roy made in 60mm. The two 60mm foot Roys and the 60mm Pat Brady are harder to find as they were not included in every playset. The 54mm figures were later and not made in nearly the amount as the 60mm figures. The 54mm Dale Evans, Pat Brady, and Bullet have their names under their bases (belly) while none of the 60mm figures are marked.

WESTERN/ REV WAR/ CIVIL WAR/ ALAMO HORSES & CATTLE
The 60mm horses are a varied lot and can be confusing. Instead of putting an entire "mold shot" into a playset these animals were put in by piece count. By studying the old PL mold list we have sorted them out into the molds in which we believe they were made. We have confidence in our sorting but could be wrong.
These were the earliest western animals made about 1950 and were put into the early ranch sets and sold individually from counter displays. The mold ended up in Mexico and RECASTS exist. The mold has two each of the trotting horses and one each of the other four animals.
rubber = rubber like vinyl, SP = polyethylene soft plastic
4.00 Trotting Chubby Horse head up, fluffy tail; RUBBER LIKE VINYL; 1 brown 4 redbrown, 6 grays, 6 white, 4 creams, 1 peachtan, i olivegreenishgray, SOFT PLASTIC; 1 cream, 1 black, 3 redbrown.

2.00 RECAST Long horn steer snorting, tail over back, SP; 4 browns, 1 silver.
This mold is interesting in that the top three animals were included in the early 1950-53 farm playsets while the large horse was in early ranch and western town sets as the first draft horse for the buckboard. We have heard that the mule with pack can be found in early western sets but have never seen a playset that included one. All of these animals were sold individually in store counter displays. The top three animals will be listed with the farm items for sale. This mold was sent to Mexico and RECASTS exist.

4.00 Larger "draft" horse, RUBBER LIKE VINYL; 2 gray.
NONE - Mule, RUBBER LIKE VINYL; .
Marx put the 60mm horses without saddles in three molds. PL-324 had eight cavities that had three each standing and running horses + two calves with the "Bar M" brand. The standing horse was designed to interact with the 60mm town cowboy "mounting", but was also as a buckboard draft horse replacing the earlier version in PL-162.

PL-325 was the second mold with 60mm saddleless horses. It also had eight cavities with three each rearing and bucking horses + two calves without the "Bar M" brand. This Bucking/rearing mold was sent to Mexico and RECASTS exist.
8.00 Rearing horse; 1 redbrown, 1 gray, 2 cream.
5.00 Bucking horse; 1 white, 1 gray, 5 redbrown, 5 cream.
2.00 Calf, unbranded; 2 redbrown, 2 cream, 1 dirty cream, (1.00 NO TAIL; 1 cream SP).
The last 60mm western animal mold made was PL-460 RODEO ANIMALS. The PL list shows this mold having 8 cavities to make 2 sets. This mold has four stopping (bracing) horses + two short horn steers and two snorting, head left long horn steers. These steers replaced the phased out chubby longhorn steers. This new snorter (or new version of) was also made in two different 54mm molds as the 60mm animals were phased out.
6.00 Stopping (bracing) horse; 4 black, 1 redbrown.
6.00 Shorthorn steer; 1 redbrown, 2 black.

About 1954 Marx made a set of 54mm western animals and started phasing out the bigger (more expensive to make) 60mm animals. These horses came with integral saddles with basically Marx copying one pose from each of their three 60mm western horse molds. The mold also contained a copy of the 60mm snorting steer. The 54mm version is the same size as the 60mm version, but with much better detail and muscle definition. This mold had two of each poses for a total of eight cavities. We will list the 54mm steers for sale with PL-1067 below.
About 1959 the two steers were removed and put into the new steer mold PL-1067.
They were replaced by two copies of the stopping (bracing) "Ben Hur" horse without saddles. We will list any of these horse with PL-865 (see below).
5.00 MX839 Running saddle horse; 1 black, 1 gray, 3 tan, 3 cream, 4 redbrown.
4.00 MX840 Rearing saddle horse; 7 cream, 2 redbrown 1 waxy cream, 1 off white, 1 gray (1.00 REISSUE; 2 brown, 1 gray).
4.00 MX841 Stopping (bracing) saddle horse; 1 brown, 1 gray, 3 cream, 2 waxy cream.
About 1956 Marx made a six cavity mold of horses without saddles to use with their 54mm western ranch playsets. They used the same separate saddles and reins as the earlier 60mm horses. To collectors they are known as the "Ben Hur" horses as they were used as chariot horses in the Ben Hur playsets. The running horse has his head tilted to his left but a variant with head to the right exists. We think these "head right" horses were pulled from the mold while still warm and the head shifted before cooling or deliberately heated to create a "rare" varient.
3.00 Saddle-less horse running; 1 black, (1.50 REISSUE; 3 dark brown) .
3.00 Saddle-less horse stopping (bracing); 2 dirty cream, (1.50 REISSUE, 3 black, 3 gray, 5 dark brown, 2 white).
In 1959 Marx made a new steer mold. They merged the two PL-610 "old snorter" cavities combining them with the three new skinny steer cavities (two poses) to make mold PL-1067. The Marx PL mold list shows the cavities as 5/10/15 which is odd, but as one of the skinny steers is harder to find than the other we can assume the mold had either five cavities or multiples of the five each with; 2 old snorters, 2 skinny head left and one skinny head right.
2.00 Old Snorter; 2 redbrown, 1 grays, 3 cream, 5 waxy cream.
5.00 Skinny head left; NONE.

Marx made a very nice fallen horse a rider set in mold PL-1153. This set was only found in larger Civil War and Western sets as well as the 1963 Custer set. This set was only made in cream and gray, but was copied in the 1990s and other colors exist with the copies.

60MM FIGURES
60mm COWBOYS
HARD TO FIND MOUNTED "POSSE" COWBOYS
NONE IN STOCK
Made in mold PL-328, 18 cavities, these figures look like a posse to us. Some of these unpainted mounted cowboys showed up in the Marx warehouse and a few have been reported showing up in early Bar-M ranch playsets. Larger picture above courtesy of David Schafer shows four figures in three of the known poses made in rubber like vinyl The smaller photo Cowboy on left (4th known pose) has had his PISTOL CUT OFF that he was holding up. We think the two examples in the smaller photo may have been made by the U.K. Marx affiliate as the are made of an English like waxy polyethylene and are painted. The Marx PL list has a PL-328 Riding cowboys, 18 cavities and PL-324A (Cowboy figures (to be used in PL-324 shoe) 6 cavities, 3 sets. These are the best two choices for the mold that these figures, ad perhaps there are more than four poses...
Mold has been found and RECASTS have been made. The mold has 18 cavities making three of the pose on the left and five each of the other three in the photo above. Looks like a posse to us. Although collectors call them "chubbys", they fit best of the 60mm horses that take separate saddles that were for the cowboys made after the chubbys series.
5.00 All four reissue mounted figures, brown. (2)
COMMON 60mm COWBOYS
Marx made four different molds of 60mm cowboys for their playset line. Some of these poses were also used for the hard plastic painted "warriors of the World" style figures made. The chubby cowboys are among the first figures made by Marx in 1950.
"CHUBBY" RANCH COWBOYS used in the 1950 first Louis Marx & Co. boy's playset

"RANCH" COWBOYS
These eight poses replaced the "Cubby" cowboys in the Marx ranch playsets. They had much better detail and were popular with kids. Early figures are made of rubber like vinyl, while later figures wwere made with polyethylene soft plastic. Early figures were made in yellow, brown and cream while later figures from bagged sets (perhaps from Mexico?) can be found in red, green, blue and gray.

Originally made of rubber like vinyl in yellow (most common) brown and cream colors. Later figures were made of polyethylene soft plastic in yellow, brown and perhaps other colors.

Marx also made a mold (PL-672) that made four mounted cowboys and four mounted Indians all in 60mm scale. Included were one new cowboy pose and two new Indian poses. They also made a mold (PL-671) that made four horses for these figures in two basic poses, running and stopping. One of each horse pose with an integral saddle and one each with an integral Indian blanket. In 1956 the molds were sent to the Charmore factory in Germany where the figures were made in hard plastic and painted from 1956-1963 as part of their German Masterpiece Series. The molds (+ one of the two foor cowboy molds) were then sold the German company Heimo about 1963-1965. Heimo made some of their own figures in similar paint schemes which causes some collector confusion. Photo courtesy Denis Rylev.
These figures were also used in one US issued Louis Marx playset SILVER CITY WESTERN TOWN #4268 made in 1956.

60mm INDIANS
Marx made 3 sets of 60mm Indians for their playset line. Early figures were made in a rubber like vinyl and standing figures did not have bases. later figures were made in polyethylene a soft plastic and bases had been added to the standing figures for greater stability. About 1958 the 60mm Indians were phased out for the new 54mm poses. With the great information available in PLAYSET MAGAZINE and PLASTIC FIGURE AND PLAYSET COLLECTOR we have been able to sort out our stock of Indians into their proper mold groups as follows;
STOCKADE INDIANS
2.00 EACH UNLESS NOTED "Stockade" Indians This was the first 60mm Indian mold made in 1952. Rubber like vinyl figures will be listed as RUBBER, polyethylene soft plastic figures will be listed as SP. Unless noted all standing RUBBER figures WILL NOT have a base while all standing SP figures WILL HAVE a base.

"CAMP" INDIANS
These figures appeared in 1953. The women and bow shooting men are very popular. Early rubber like vinyl standing figures will not have bases while later soft plastic standing figures will have bases.

SKINNY/SLIM INDIANS
The third 60mm Indian set appeared in 1954. We also think that the other two molds were reworked to include bases for the standing figures about this time. Perhaps influenced by the Walt Disney movie TONKA one of the new Indians has been shot with an arrow. Most kids (myself included) easily removed this arrow so that the figure could appear to have been shot by our cavalry figures. These figures are usually found in polyethylene soft plastic although I imagine rubber like vinyl examples exist. Unless noted all figures for sale will be SOFT PLASTIC.

WARRIORS OF THE WORLD STYLE INDIANS
Molds with mounted figures and horses were made and shipped to Europe. Two molds of the foot poses were made as well with the same poses (some slight differences.
Marx also made a mold (PL-672) that made four mounted cowboys and four mounted Indians all in 60mm scale. Included were one new cowboy pose and two new Indian poses. They also made a mold (PL-671) that made four horses for these figures in two basic poses, running and stopping.

60mm PIONEERS
Marx made six different pioneers for their early Ft Apache stockade sets. Early figures are made in rubber like vinyl. Marx added bases to most of the standing figures for stability. These "revised" figures are usually seen in later polyethylene soft plastic. These figures were phased out about 1958 with the introduction of the 54mm western figures.

54mm FIGURES
One of the nicest accessories Marx made for their western sets was this 54mm wagon. In the picture above the removable seat has been placed "buckboard style", but it also can be clipped to the front edge when paired with a covered wagon top. The wagon mold included five separate small accessories; barrel and box to clip on the wagon sides plus a lantern, pail and wash tub.
SEE ACW PAGE FOR WAGON AND WAGON PARTS AVAILABILITY`.
Although unmarked, based upon playset box art it has been determined that the figure on the left represented Daniel Boone. The mold consisted of 18 cavities containing two of each pose. The small Boonesboro playset contained only half the mold set. This mold still exists and although the originals were only made in a light tan color, recasts have been made in 10 or more colors including the tan seen above.

This mold contained 10 cavities. There were two of the mounted pose and one each of the other eight poses. When the Boonesborough pioneer mold was not ready for its intended playset Marx removed the two mounted figures from the Alamo/Ft Apache mold and inserted the "Daniel Boone" and shot with arrow poses to go with the other eight figures for the earliest Boonesborough playsets. The Alamo/Ft Apache figures were made in at least 14 different colors over their history. The location of this mold is currently unknown.

>Marx made three molds of "54mm" Indians. The first PL-787 made about 1957 had one totem pole and fifteen Indians in nine poses. The second mold PL-919 made a few years later also had sixteen cavities and was the same as PL-787 except four of the duplicate figure poses were replace by four new "revised" figure poses. These new figures are closer to 45mm in scale and may have been left over from an aborted attempt to redo the 45mm Indian mold (45mm Indian with scalp may have been part of this mysterious group as it surfaced in the later runs of the 45mm mold). The 3rd mold duplicated the first two molds and had 32 cavities. The Indian molds were used for many years and at least one of them survived to have recast produced. The Indians were first made in yellow and copper (redbrown), a few were made in wine red and cream. In the sixties the color was changed to butterscotch/carmel colors while at the end they were made in oranges.

This set had nine different poses and the mold contained 18 cavities such that two complete groups of nine were made at a time. Eventually this mold was somehow merged with the Miners, Trappers and Cowboys mold. At this time one mounted sheriff, one man with whip and two each of the other seven regular cowboys were added to the 16 cavity Miners mold to make a 32 cavity mold. This mold was run for at least the storage box sets in which 1/2 of each "mold shot" made it into each set (so the sets did not have every pose). The original cowboys were made in grays, browns, and tans, and then in butterscotch for the storage box sets. They have been recast in several colors.

The Miners, Trappers and Cowboys mold had 16 figures in 13 poses. As can be seen above there were two each of the last 3 poses and one each of the first 10 poses. There was also a separate sack (not pictured) for the figure on the far left to be carrying. The originals were done in tan and gray and then in butterscotch after the merger with the standard cowboy mold.

20.00 RECAST Combo mold of original cowboys and miners, trappers & cowboys molds, 32 figures (bag says 22 poses, but I think 21); 1 GRAY IN STOCK.
This figure was first made in the late 1950s. Usually made in cream, light blue was also used for the 1963 Custer and large Ft Apache playsets. It was made in "lime green" in the 1970s for small western storage box sets. The mold was found and RECASTS were made in the 1990s in darker blue and waxy gray. The old Marx landfill has turned up a few and the cream usually has changed to off white or light gray from being buried.

The Rodeo animals were made in mold PL-360 which had twenty cavities making two sets of ten. As there are only seven poses, one or more is duplicated in the set. This mold is in Mexico and recasts are being produced in a cream soft plastic (originals we have seen are all rubber like vinyl). Photo courtesy Isashi the Galaxy Pilot.

With the exception of the "odd pose" the other 12 Indian poses seen above made up the early sets. Later sets also had the "odd pose", man holding scalp and tomahawk. We do not know if this meant an earlier pose was deleted or if the mold was altered. Also the man kneeling was supposed to be using a paddle, but Marx decided to remove the paddle to avoid putting a canoe in every set. Some early examples sometimes have part of the paddle shaft as seen above. Without the paddle he becomes a drummer using one of the small accessory sprue pieces.
