Marx Electric Robot and Son

Electric Robot and Son, MARX toys, USA,
1955

It took me a number of years, but I finally got to pair these two...

Another classic US-design. This robot is a pure example of the atomic 50'ies - with a grin that is either laughing at you or trying to teach kids to brush their teeth ! (hey, I ate too much oily candy and now my mouth is looking like a radiator !)

Finish it up with a Morse Code chart on the back of his head (yes, robots of that time did not speak in Bits and Bytes, but in Morse - through a buzzer system...) and a son that is very often missing in action, and you have the all mighty skirted Mr. Electric Robot.

Together with Robert - they are some of Marx's best.

Glass eyes... there goes toy
safety in the fifties !

A diaper on a robot ? 
Oil leaks ?
