A big thanks to Joe-in-Mesa, and wife Jan-in-Mesa, who found a couple toys and brochures at a great price while visiting the MVPA convention in Des Moines, Iowa, last week.
The Marx tin windup cowboy jeep has details that I haven’t seen on similar cowboy jeeps. I thought it was the best of the two, even though the windup spring doesn’t quite work.
The four-passenger Marx Jumpin’ Jeep in green and yellow is more familiar, with graphics in good shape as well.
I had neither of the two brochures they found, so that was a bonus (see the posts below)!
Here are more pics of both toys:
And, the Jumpin’ Jeep:
i’ve got a poor condition version of the cowboy jeep only the driver is a soldier, helmet and all.
Does it have any kind of identifying name on it?
i’ll email you some pics.
Thanks Muley .. I sent you a response.
Yep, same driver with the goofy grin we get when driving our jeeps. Just a different hat and paint scheme. I found it in an abandoned desert dump, southern AZ probably 40 years ago.
Glad you like them Dave 🙂. We had a great time looking thru everything the vendors brought to Des Moines.
The 2 toys were purchased from me at the convention, have fun with them 👍🏽…. They were purchased many years ago by my late father at an auction. Glad they went to a good home 😎
Thanks for the note Lee!
