Dual Casey Key Properties For Sale.
Once owned by Louis Marx III, grandson of legendary toy manufacturer Louis Marx Sr., the newly listed Casey Key properties at 3752 and 3750 Casey Key Road are on the market for $2.960 million.
Louis Marx Sr. was known as the Toy King of America until he sold his business to Quaker Oats in 1972. The toy company, which at one time outsold Lionel Trains, later became part of Dunbee-Combex-Marx Ltd., a British conglomerate now out of business.
Louis Marx Sr. was also the father of Patricia Ellsberg, wife of Daniel Ellsberg who released the Pentagon Papers; and Barbara Marx Hubbard, New Age author, speaker, and co-founder of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution, who has lectured in Sarasota.
