I have been collecting children’s wooden toys for almost 20 years. I especially like American toys made between 1920-1940. In 2002, I was at a toy show and it was love at first sight. In front of me was a colorful collection of children's wooden crayon holders that the children would take to school. These crayon holders would often only hold 5-10 crayons. Each crayon holder was hand painted so that I found that no two crayon holders were exactly alike. This collection continues to grow. They now total 70+ and I have them proudly displayed in my Toy Room. I keep adding to this collection when I find a version I do not already have.

These dog crayon holders still have their Mfg. tag. Here are the tags for the 3 dogs above.
