It's followed by a fab ad for Kellogs Corn Flakes from 1909--and by special request, an oldie but goodie--one of our favorite Marx playsets: The Robin Hood Castle set, 1956. 

Featured in a previous auction at Croton's own SERIOUSTOYZ.COM, it sold for $197 a few years back. Click on the photos and enjoy!
