Marjorie Daw See-Saw

[IowaMarble]

Other than Peltier marbles, the only other thing that I really collect (at least for right now) are marble related toys and games. Generally, I try to only go after the tin or metal versions but occasionally an old wood one will find its way into my collection. Here is a neat one that I picked up recently called "Marjorie Daw See-Saw". I've never seen this particular toy before but, it is self actuating where you put marbles in the triangular platform/tray and the marbles then fall into the little girl's bucket and finally into another tray that slides under the bucket. The toy is mostly tin but the two little girls are presumably celluloid. I guess there is an old nursery rhyme with a similar name which I also had never heard of previously. The toy was manufactured by Stuart Machine & Tool Company (New Jersey) for the Malone Products Corporation (New York).

New toy to me.  Very nice.  (Knew the rhyme.)

Sounds like fun.  Sounds like you've made it go?

cool, any idea what date or if it came with marbles?

I haven't performed any research on the toy so I can't say for certain.

I did a quick newspaper search and see results from 1948 and 1949.
