@j. constible posted:they are similar to Marx, but Marx marked their items most of the times. the only markings are on the bottom. (pat applied for). maybe thet never got it
For whatever it's worth the later actual lamppost which I pictured earlier had no Marx identifying inscriptions on it anywhere. It was only inscribed with "Made in U.S.A." As you said Marx marked their items "most of the time." With Marx you never quite know for sure because the only thing consistent about their finished products were their inconsistency. I think that's one of the things which makes them so beloved. However, as shown, the packaging with the later lamppost is clearly labeled Marx.
