I've been revisiting old blog posts in order to revisit them and write new blog posts.

One of these fine websites is TinToyColor.

For today's post, I decided to select  3 different types of toy motorcycles 

and write about them.

The owner is Mr.Javier Hernandez, and he's an excellent merchant on ebay

Friction Tin Toy Motorcycle

This type of toy. requires you to move the wheels on the floor to create

a motion of the "motor" inside the toy. After 3-4 runs on the floor,

energy is buit up. You then place the toy on a wood floor, and the toy 

moves by itself. When the power is used up, the toy comes to a halt.

Description

Bandai Meguro Japan 1950's BMW 500 

Motorcycle Friction 12 inches (30.5 cm)

Windup Tin Toy Motorcycle

These type of toys requires you to turn a key that adds

energy to an inside metal spring coil. The tighter the coil is wound,

the more energy is saved, ad the farther the toy will travel.

Description:

Wind Up 7.50 inches (19 cm) original tin toy motorcycle.

Battery Operated Toy Motorcycle

This toy requites older-sized AA batteries to supply power.

Introducing The Tin Toy Car Company

Introducing the 

TinToyCar Company

I was doing a Google search for tin toys when I discovered the Tin Toy Car company. Naturally, I went to the site and found a well-organized and well-photographed website. As I started to browse the site,  I found lots of nice tin toys that I assume are rare due to their their prices.  Also, the important thing was that the owner specifically added  the words "Original Tin Toy" to each toy that was original, compared to knockoffs (reproductions).  These "knockoffs" might have been copied and produced later on in places such as China.

The website of the Tin Toy Car company  is organized by the type of toy produced. The categories are Cars, Robots, Space Toys, Motorcycles, Pedal Cars, and "Others". The "Other" category contains such tin toys as airplanes, tanks, human figures , and busses. Of the categories, each one is  organized as to battery, windup, friction, and parts.

The 1950's and  1960's were the golden age of Japanese Tin Toys. The 1940's and 1950's

were the start-up after WWII. During this time, many new Japanese toy companies were created to manufacturer toys. The world had returned to normal after WWII, and Japanese toy manufacturers were producing loads of toys. The American manufacturers had a hard time, as they simply were having a hard time competing with the Japanese competition. The Japanese could make toys at a much lower price. What surprised me most was the value of these toys.  The Masudaya MT toy below must be very rare, as the asking price is $ 6500.00 US dollars. Of course, not all 1950's-1960's Japanese toys are valuable or rare, so it's best to consult with a used toy seller who sells these toys!
