Ferrero Kinder Surprise Egg - Pigs in Space

'Pigs in Space' - well, okay, this isn't exactly the Muppets but it sure does evoke memories of their space spoof. This Space Pig is courtesy of Ferrero Kinder Surprise Eggs during the 1980s. Last year I went through  a box full of a gazillion Kinder Egg toys and sorted through them, rebuilding those that had come apart and getting rid of a lot of duplicates. This guy was a part of that effort - him I kept! His mouth opens and closes and his arms raise and lower as he's pushed along. Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina

Marx Unknown Set#: Pt 3 R.R. Station and Billborad

This is the last of the Marx cardboard buildings I bought a month or so ago which belong to an unattributed set number. Along with the three buildings there was a billboard which is included here as well. They measure: 

R.R. Station; Walls 6" (15.2cm) W x 3" (7.6cm) D x 2/3/8" (6cm) H
                Including Roof: 7 3/4" (19.7cm) W 4 1/4" (10.8cm) D 3 3/4' (9.5cm) H

Billboard: 5 1/4" (13.3cm) W x 2 1/8" (5.4cm) H

I've included a scan of the type of bases used in Marx paper villages

Marx Unknown Set#: Pt 2 Fire Station

Yesterday I posted one of several buildings I bought maybe a month or so ago and recognized as possible variants of a Marx Village. The stamping's are exactly the same as those found in the #151 34 PC Railroad and Village Construction Set but the graphics are different. It is possible there is yet another variation made by Marx that hasn't yet been fully cataloged. Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina

Here's pics of the envelope for the #151 set and the Fire Station that came in it:

Now here's the Fire Station  I got a few weeks ago. It measures 5" (12.7cm) L x 3 1/2" (8.9cm) H x 3 1/4" (8.3cm) W
