Myra

Myra from Marx Toys has short hair with a sidepart, small bangs that go to one side, and centered eyes. She isn't a Skipper clone but a competitor. Her big sister is called Marlene ("The doll of fashion with movable limbs"). Myra comes with a "buffet", a "breakfast in bed" and a "vanity" set. She has the Marx Logo on the back of her right shoulder. The doll was sold around 1965.

 

Louis Marx and Company is an American toy manufacturer. Marx was founded in 1919 in New York by Louis and David Marx and operated until 1978. They owned three manufacturing plants in the United States as well as numerous plants overseas. In 1955 five percent of the toys Marx sold in the U.S.A. were made in Japan. Myra was produced in the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong.

 

The Marx logo is composed of the letters "MARX" in a circle with a large X through it. The slogan is "One of the many Marx toys, have you all of them?" The company also produces the "Sindy" doll (from 1978 - 1979), which is 11 1/2" tall.
