I recently wrote a post about  stripe4107, a fine store on ebay. 

While I revisited the store, I saw a nice Kingsbury toy, that I had 

never seen before.

The Kingsbury Manufacturing Company was a toy company located

in Keene, New Hampshire,USA. In stayed in business from the late 19th

century to the mid 20th century.*

 Used from a description on the search engine Google*

The toy below is made of pressed steel, and was an early model from the newly-founded toy company. The model is Model 796, and moves by a wind-up motor 

"little Jim Crawler Tractor" on tracks. When the toy was fully wound-up, 

there was  an Off/On switch that would keep the wound-up spring 

from releasing its' power, until the children were ready to play with the toy.

Dimensions:

L x W x H

8" x 4" x 6"

15.25 cm x 9.75 cm x 15.25 cm

So that's it for today.

Thanks for dropping by,

and have a great part of the morning, afternoon, or evening

wherever you may be.

Another Interesting Request for a Toy Identification

Another Interesting Request 

for a Toy Identification

          I often get requests from readers to help them identify their nice toys. A few weeks ago, I received a request from Mr. Race Owens to help him in identifying a toy of his. What I usually do is to ask the reader if he/she can send me photos of their toy, and I'll write a post for them. Possibly, one of my readers will help to identify the  toy.

Here's what Race wrote to me:

"Hello! My name is Race Owens. I have a wind-up toy with an unknown maker. The logo is a capital S in a circle. It seems to be more likely Strauss than Schoenhut but the logo resembles examples from the latter. "

      Race obviously knows about toys, since he mentioned 2 older toy manufacturers by the respective names of "Strauss" and "Schoenhut".

      So, if there is someone out there who can help with the identification of this toy., both Race, and myself would be very grateful.  Below are the photos that race sent me to help  with the discovery of this "mysterious toy".

     The toy is a wind-up toy that has a drummer drum .

The photo below is excellent because it's the logo of the company that manufactured the toy.

So that's it for today. Tomorrow or the next day, I have another toy that will also need help with its' identification.  If you know who the manufacturer of today's toy is, by all means please write me.

I can always be reached at the e-mail address below:

As always, thanks for dropping by, and have a great day, and a nice upcoming Labour Day.
