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've been finding all kinds of interesting toys this week on ebay, so I've continued to search there.

I saw a nice Smith-Miller toy, that was out of the "norm" from the usual Smith-Miller toys that I've seen. The "usual" Smith-Miller toys are the trucks or trucks with semis that they haul. This toy happens to be a trailer from 1953, which is certainly different.

Vintage Smith Miller M.I.C. House Trailer Pressed Steel Vehicle

THe trailer was produced to take advantage of the "I Love Lucy" TV show,

and was made only in 1953. Trailer has a blue steel roof, and aluminum sides.

Length: 26" 660 mm

Thanks for dropping by,

and as always,

Have a great part of the day or night,

Wherever you may be.
