Description:

This spectacular playset was produced after Louis Marx specifically requested his staff in 1960 to create a "super set" to be advertised on television. This was undoubtedly a shock to all involved, because Louis Marx had never before advertised his toys on television. This set introduced several new pieces: the Centennial figures (Confederates only), the Jefferson Davis character figure, the redoubt, the destroyed mansion, the firing mortar, the exploding bunker, the 4-horse cassion and cannon, and the medical wagon (which was not included in any other playset). With 136 figures and a total of 330 pieces, it was certainly a super set and today is one of the most sought-after Marx playsets. It was sold exclusively by Montgomery Wards and was sold for only one year.
