10° C / 50° F
Sun with Clear Skies
I like to keep in touch with the companies and people with whom I write blogs.
The company has been in existence for more than 20 years, and the owner is
Mr. Ed Sanford.
I did some more research, and discovered that AntiqueToys.com
a can be found on Facebook and Youtube. In this day and age,
social media sites can help promote your company, as
well as providing information about toys.
Earlier in the week, I contacted Mr.Ed Sanford at AntiqueToys.com.
A few days later, I received a reply from Ed. He wrote that there are
two people who reply to e-mails, as well as four other people
who work very hard within the company. Ed also has a cooperation
with Marz Auctions, another fine company.
I asked Ed what he'd like me to write about, and he suggested a toy from pre-war. I did a search on AntiqueToys.com and, as usual, I found a wonderful collection of toys.
One toy caught my attention, and I decided to post exclusively about that one.
Ed and his employees have spent a tremendous amount of work to
make this fine company what it is today. One of the excellent parts
of the website is information and details on toys that are being sold.
When Ed replied to my e-mail, he suggested writing about PreWar toys.
The term "Pre-War" nowadays, refers to the time before a "big war".
Just as soon as I did a search on Antiquetoys.com, there was a very good
amount of fine toys, but one toy in particular caught my attention.
It was a J.L.Hess (JLH) toy from the early 1900's, circa 1910, and
it was from a "Pre-War" from WWI (1914-1918)
I think this is one of the oldest toys that I may have written about.
Moreover,I checked my blog posts, and I have never written about
a L.L.Hess before, nor a toy so old.
Description:
"J.L.Hess (JLH) Early ca. 1910 Flywheel Tin
Lithographed CrankWind Hessmobile"
"This is an early CA. 1910 tin, lithographed, hand-cranked flywheel
motor Hess automobile that was manufactured by J.L.Hess of
Nurembery,Germany.
This large Hess automobile features a working windup mechanism,
though engagement occasionally slips.The car has
nicely lithographed disc wheels with spoke detailing, and the trunk opens.
An unusual and early tin car, perfect for collectors.
This piece is in all original condition with no breaks, restorations, repairs,
or touch-ups. This piece shows the usual patina, fading, dust,
chips, scuffs, surface dust, scratches, missing accessories, and wear
that are to be expected from age and play, This is approximately 8 1/2" in length.
We invite you to view the photos to further determine the quality and condition."
As you can see from the above description, Ed's website
is a great resource to find information about toys.
Much time has been spent to research each
and every toy that is being sold.
There were several more photos to be looked at on the website.
Also, there is a short biography of the manufacturer of the toy.
This is a great resource for those interested in learning all about toys.
Lastly, the photography is excellent. There are plenty of images to
look at the toy from all different angles. Not only do you see the
toy, but you see the condition of the toy as well.
So that's all for today.
As always, thank you for dropping by,
and have a great part of the day or night,
wherever you may be.
