I would say a more conservative estimate is in the 80-90 dollar range if she is in really good condition. her accessories usually fetch about 10 dollars each. Marx toys are one of the top 10 vintage toy lines collected not only for their figures but especially for their tin toys and trucks.

im gonna say its fake right off the bat, but it might be silver so worth a few bucks. it kinda stinks like a 1916 double eagle I came into a few months back, right off the bat I figured it was fake which it was however it was still 31.1 grams of 24kt gold which lined my pocket quite nicely LOL. it was a copy made in Libya in the 1970's, no mint mark but i love that they still used 24kt.

yea im still thinking chrysler, for a couple reasons, 1. the number of louvers in the hood sides matches a chrysler 2) most of the cars made in the comparative body styles mostly used a rounded top on the radiator housing, Chryslers used a more angular 1 like in the pic but so did Stutz and Pierce. Arrow.

I don't think its a plumb bob, I would be more inclined to say a pocket sundial and the flag went in the broken loop. that  would make all the lines inscribed mean something and explain why its marked on both ends of each line maybe.
