The following description was taken from Greenburg’s Guide to Marx Toys Vol 2.

“ Sunnyside Service Station: 1934. 13-1/2” long X 10” wide. The Sunnyside Service station bears a strong similarity to the Roadside Rest Service Station.

            As described by Trip Riley, the station has two gas pumps of the type without art deco design. The blue “motor pump and the red “Ethyl” pump comes with black rubber hoses and metal nozzles. The toy also has an air pump.

             The toy’s accessories include an oil wagon and a water can. The oil wagon is orange with a blue top and has different lithography from the one used with the roadside rest service station, but the shape is the same. Markings on the side of the wagon are 100% Penna. Oil” below which is  the Marx logo.

             Although advertisements do not show it, the toy has a battery-operated light on a pole at the right rear of the base.  (The toy has been seen with a free air pump instead of a light pole.) Ads do mention the light in the base under the vehicle service lift. They also show that the toy comes with a 6” coupe with a luggage rack. The battery box in the rear is marked “Capacity 1200/ Gallons”.

             The service station has a similar sign to the Roadside Rest Service Station, marked “Sunnyside Service Station”. As in the other building, the Marx logo is in the middle of the toy’s name. However, unlike the Roadside Rest Station, there are no figures of attendants or three-dimensional counter with stools. Instead, the front of the building has a lithographed brick design, a door, and two signs: “Tires” and “Rest Room”. Lithographed tires are shown through a window and another window is on the building side. The toy is mounted on the same type base as the Roadside Rest Service Station, but unlike that station, the front doors on this building can open.

             The patent for the toy, #2,040,521, applied for January 1934, shows the open doors. The patent substantially resembles the toy as it was produced except that it has no cars (the lift is shown) and has two rather than one, water cans.
