I'm gonna spend a few posts looking at the buildings that came with the Marx playsets. These have all been posted before as stand alone posts but now we'll weave them into the overall playset fabric.
This is the very first tin-litho building included in Marx's new line (at the time) of military (WWII/Korean War) themed playsets from 1951. This would end up becoming the 'medium-size' cabin. Eventually, Marx would offer three sizes of cabins:
-a small down-sized cabin (with and without porch)
-this medium sized one
-and a larger cabin with porch.
Those stampings would be lithographed for Army, Western, and even space-theme sets. The measurements for this one are:
Base: 11.125" (28.25cm) W x 7" (17.78cm) D
Building Walls: 10.375" 26.35cm) W x 5" (12.7cm) D / 5.25" (13.33cm) H to top of roof 6.125" (15.55cm) H to top of chimney
