ELECTRIC ROBOT AND SON, GREY/MAROON VERSION - MARX - USA

Grey-maroon version of the large plastic skirt robot. This robot in its black/red version has been documented to 1955 though this grey/maroon version first appears in Montgomery Wards Christmas Catalog for1957. The white bulb eyes original, they're distinctive in that they are white, not clear glass. The white comes off easily. Electric Robot (and son) came with plastic hammer and screwdriver, but no wrench.

Electric Robot and Son has an antenna adjustment knob, knobs for right and left arm movement, morse code bottom with morse code written on the back of the robot's head, forward and reverse switch, left and right movement switch.

It is believed that all 3 color variations were produced in both "Electric Robot" and "Electric Robot & Son" versions. The "Morse Code Robot" name was probably coined by a seller who no longer had the original box to the toy. Printed on the back of the head are the words: "Morse Code" and followed by the Morse Code alphabet. This handy reminder was useful after the robot's antenna was raised and the buzzer button activated.

There is an elusive tan colored variation.

The Electric Robot (as opposed to the version with son) has an additional piece. United States
