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.

Antique Paint Decorated Doll Sled in Original Surface

Circa 1890-1910: Measuring a petite 14 1/2" (367 mm)long , 5"(117 mm) wide, and 3 1/4" (83 mm) tall, this five color polychromatic painted doll sled boasts floral decoration surrounded by a double border of gold stenciling inside a blue pinstripe. Its cast iron runners in original green have red striping, and the sled even includes its original rope so that a little girl of the day could pull her favorite doll through the snow on a bright winter day. This gorgeous doll sled was gently used and exhibits the good honest wear that advanced collectors desire in their antiques.

I didn't realize that there were even doll sleds, so this

was a wonderful surprise to me.

Thanks for dropping by,

and have a great part of the day or night.
