Old Antique Toys

This blog discusses old toys from the early 1920's to the end of the 1950's. All kinds of topics are discussed. The time span was the greatest period for "hands-on" toys, where a young child could actually go outside and play for hours at a time. You can see the elegance but simple design of these toys. It was a time when huge machines, and people made and finished toys by hand. The era has long passed, but many of the toys are still around, and that is what I would like to share.

3 Restored Tootsietoy Grahams

I already had an instalment on the Tootsietoy Grahams, but these 3 beauties arrived and I thought I present them to you. I presenting them to you with a soft lighting. FOr those who prefer a harsher lighting, take a look at my Monday's ProPhotoLearning Blog where I talk about the 2 lighting types.

I won't talk much today, suffice to say 2 things:

1. Whomever did the work did a wonderful job

2. Not everyone likes restored toys, but there the beat-ups and unrestored for those who like them, and the restored for those who prefer how the toys might have looked brand new almost 85 years ago.
