Vintage Cast Iron Toys
Cast-iron was a common toy material from the 1870s until World War II. It was ideally suited for mass-production; the iron was cast in molds that could be used thousands and thousands of times. Typically the early cast-iron toys were decorated by dipping the pieces in a basic paint and then adding hand painted details. Cast-iron toys had problems with rust if exposed to the environments and the toys with moving parts we most susceptible. Too help eliminate this problem many manufacturers began adding nickel-plating to many of the toys. The vast majority of cast-iron toys were made in the United States up until the start of World War II, when production of these toys basically ceased. Below is a large selection of Vintage Cast Iron Toys for sale. Many, many toy vehicles were crafted from cast-iron. After 1900 remarkably accurate versions of such popular vehicles as the Model T Ford, Yellow Cab, Cord Supercharger, and Mack Truck appeared.
