Revisiting The Henry Ford (Museum)
I decided to write another post post about The Henry Ford (Museum),
so I wrote them for their permission. Within a short time, I received
permission one of the reference librarians to post again.
Months ago, I "discovered" this marvellous website that Mr.Henry Ford created, along with all of the people working for this exceptional resource and museum.
If I ever go to Detroit Michigan (U.S.A.), the place that I would want to visit is
this fantastic museum, with all of its' different areas for seeing so many different things. I would have to visit the toy museum section, before everything else.
My second choice would be the car section of the museum.
The toy section on the web is very carefully catalogued. I've only used
the photos and their descriptions, but like a library, this museum's
contents have been carefully sorted and catalogued for reference purposes.
Once again, each and every toy has a vast amount of
detailed information.The Henry Ford (Museum) website would be
an excellent resource and reference site to research toys.
For this PlaySchool toy, you can see all of the detail and work that goes into
classifying each and every toy item in this special toy area of the Museum.
The magnified beetle below is described as follows:
Summary
"Small tin toys were first made during the 1860's, especially in and
around Nuremburg, Germany. This beetle was made by the
Lehmann Company, a German manufacturer known for its colorful
and detailed mechanized tin toys.Winding the clockwork mechanism
makes this beetle walk and flap its' wings".
The beetle below was made in 1895.

Thanks for visiting my website, and please visit the
The Henry Ford Museum. It's a fascinating resource for
not just toys, but for all kinds of other things (especially cars).
As always, thanks for visiting,
and have a great part of the day or evening,
wherever you may be.
