Horse & Cart (page 517) As (8) with driver, but with colours
similar to (7), in a colourful
box marked Mechanical HORSE &
CART and Made in Gt.Britain
by LOUIS MARX & Co.Ltd., Swansea.
Dual Horse & Cart (page 517) As (12) but with lime green horses. Tinplate
horse as in (7) to (12) but black with orange and white
harness. Marx made horses with quite a range of colours for these
clockwork carts.
Sparkling Climbing
Tractor (page 517) As (19) but friction-driven rather than
clockwork.
Tricky Tommy Tractor (page 518) As (22) and (23) but blue, and with black plastic
wheels. These wheels usually indicate a Hong Kong version, and
indeed the model has a small Hong Kong roundel next to the tool box on
the right-hand side. Nevertheless, it is in an original Swansea
box as (22), so Hong Kong
models may have been sold in these boxes, and we have not yet seen a
Hong Kong box.
