Closeup: Anvil on Log

There is something about this tiny plastic figure that is very satisfying to look at. It's only about 54mm high but the detail is phenomenal.

This anvil was used in a variety of Marx playsets, including the Alamo, Fort Apache, and Ranch sets. Recasts (re-issues or duplicates) are floating around, and it is very difficult to distinguish the originals from the recast, unless they are in "un-Marx" colors.

You can buy this one for $3.00 here....
