Anyone know anything about Unique Arts tinplate trains from the 50s? I think Marx bought them out, but not much more.
Any examples pictures or anything?
Could you mean Ives?

They had a factory in Newark, New Jersey and a showroom at 200 5th Avenue in New York.

I read in a toy collectors guide [while 'browsing' at Barnes and Noble!] that Marx bought out Unique. The same business address seems to connect them somehow. Unique supposedly quit production after 1951.
