All About Old Toys
Our Home Page
WELCOME TO THE HOME FOR For this
site, an old toy is any push, pull, crib, or
stand up children's
toy made prior to
1945 and made of wood or metal. Most of the toys featured here were made
between 1890 and 1935 but we do have pictures, catalogs, and descriptions of toys
made up to the 1970s. Here
you will find toy photos, toy company histories,
and online Old Toy Shops
where you can buy great old toys. New information is being added
daily. We now have over
586 pages
of toy articles, identification guides, and
old toys catalogs with
more than 10,000 photos of old toys and dolls. Most of these articles were written
by toy researchers, toy collectors, and family members of
the old toy companies.
Let us know what interests you.
