Step back into the Cold War era with this exceptional and highly displayable Louis Marx U. Armed Forces Training Center Playset No. 4139, circa late 1950s to early 1960s. This original boxed set includes a stunning array of military miniatures, tin litho building facades, and realistic accessories-a perfect centerpiece for collectors of vintage playsets, toy soldiers, or mid-century Americana. Original box with intact interior cardboard dividers.
Tin lithographed Headquarters Building with interior wall graphics and tab connectors. 3 full office desk/furniture sets 1 still sealed! Marx military truck with mounted radar dish. Heavy artillery: machine guns, recoilless rifles, tripods, ammo crates. Large log fences (19 pieces), sandbag position, and accessories.
Assorted Plasticville-style gun and utility parts. Dozens of hard plastic soldiers in parade, action, and command poses. Figures include Marines, Army, Navy, and Air Force personnel-officers, riflemen, radio operators, bazooka teams, and more. Marching band and flag bearers. Small molded bases and unbased soldiers (both styles correct for Marx era). One office set still sealed in original box. Some minor wear to a few tin litho edges. No plane, helo or tank included. Plastic has some color variation due to age and material mix (normal for this era).Collector's Note: This No. Armed Forces Training Center is one of the more detailed and immersive sets produced by Marx, offering both play value and Cold War-era realism. The inclusion of all original office furniture, rare figure poses, and the original box with compartmentalized insert boosts the collector value considerably. The mixed forces (Navy, Marines, Air Force) likely reflect Marx's intent to portray a joint training facility, not an error or mix-match-especially common in mid-run batches when parts were pulled from overlapping molds.
