Above, the 1942 Sears Christmas Book ad for a Marx Dial typewriter. It was a very popular $2.11 Christmas gift of the time, and 77 years on it's still very much in demand!
Santa Claus oversees the packing on the Marx toy factory assembly line in Glen Dale, West Virginia.
The typewriter was designed by Samuel Irving Berger (1889-1970), of Newark, New Jersey.
