Vintage Farm Toys
Collectors of vintage cars and trucks may not view vintage farm toys in the same light, but collecting vintage farm toys is a serious business. For every antique farm tractor or cotton harvester built, there is the potential for finding a matching antique farm toy. At times, the collectible rare farm toy may be worth more than the actual machine! Threshers, potato diggers, horse carts and tipping trailers are all types of vintage farm equipment frequently represented by toys. Farm toys came into their own during the late 1980s and early 1990s as farm toy collecting entered the mainstream, and collectors no longer hid behind the “toys for the grandchildren” excuse. As the hobby matured, cast iron toys were replaced by die-cast pieces, well-known lines (John Deere and International Harvester) were joined by the more obscure (Silver King and Heider), and simple toys were pushed aside by finely detailed replicas.
