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.

I know many of you will appreciate this post, so I'm speechless oday.

Thanks for visiting to view this post

Thanks for writing.
As I've been writing about old toys, I've begun to recollect old times from when I was young.
I always liked old magazines, and the photos and "old" in them.

You're more than welcome.
I enjoy writing, and even more when people write.

Try ebay. I just added a post (July 1, 2014)

http://stores.ebay.com/Mantiques-and-baseball

This person goes by the name Gdawg on ebay, and has great merchandise of old catalogues.
You can send him an e-mail and see if he has that particular year of catalogue with those particular items.

I can check later today in my catalogue, but it's a Butler 1926-1927.

Thanks for viewing my blog,
