I like to keep in touch with the people and companies whom I've had the pleasure and thanks to have been able to write about them, their stores, and of course their toys. I wrote a letter to Mr. Ed Sanders of AntiqueToys.com in November,
to see how he was doing and to say that I's like to write another post. He gave me the permission and I thanked him. Unfortunately, I forgot. 

My apologies to Ed, and no excuses!

 AntiqueToys.com is an excellent store, as well as an exceptional resource. Not only do es Ed all ways have an excellent selection of toys for sale, but his site is encyclopaedic in providing toy collectors and people in learning about toys, 
but he always has a large array of all kinds of toys for sale. 


Above: At the top of the first web page, there is a guide for all of the different types of toys, as well as pages about toys, and toys for sale.

Access to the many different topics and  categories, is presented
by alphabetical order, as well as by topic. Once you select a letter and click, 
all of the titles and topics for the specific letter will appear.

The screen-capture below illustrates another section of Ed's website.
There is a guide for determining the grading of the condition of a toy,
there is a glossary (vocabulary and explanation) of the "language" of toys, 
and a large amount of information of the many manufacturers of toys.

This part of Ed's website provides the reader with information
about the many different manufacturers of toys, and 
the many different the type of toys. In terms of buying toys, there is a large choice both in terms of toys, as well as the range in pricing of the toys.


I am still amazed whenever I visit Ed's website, even after 14 years of 
writing posts. Ed and  his team of employees have spent a lot of time to get the 
quality of website that you can visit.

If you want to visit a site and learn about toys or buy a toy,
this is a fine place to visit. Ed has been in business for a  whole,
and his experience and knowledge are phenomenal.

So that's it for today.

a very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year
