WBBM Channel 2 - News - "Marvin Glass, Toy Designer" (1972) Here's a vintage report from WBBM Channel 2's Bob Wallace about Marvin Glass and Associates - a famous Toy Design company based in Chicago. His company created many famous toys including Mr. Machine and Rock'em Sock'em Robots. This aired on local Chicago TV on Friday, December 15th 1972. About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television: The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 4,600+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at: http://www.fuzzymemories.tv/index.php...
MARVIN GLASS: THE WILLY WONKA OF TOYS! One man was responsible for the toy industry as we know it - from Operation to Ker-Plunk!, from Mousetrap to Simon. And it wasn't either Mr Biffo or Paul Gannon, but they do take a look at his extraordinary achievements of one Marvin Glass! "Me teef!"
