Antique Toys
The most entertaining of all antiques, toys constitute one of the fastest growing fields of collecting. They appeal to people of all ages: For children, of course, toys give countless hours of amusement, and for adults they provide delights, not only because playthings are reminders of youth, but also because they convey fascinating glimpses into the values, styles, and technology of earlier eras. Toys have captivated Americans for more than a century-from 19th-century rocking horses and early 20th-century touring cars to rockets of the 1960s. Also included are European toys that were frequently exported to America.
Toy collecting is a relatively new field, and only in the past twenty years has it attracted large numbers of collectors and inspired specialized auctions, collectors, clubs. and scholarly research. The first toys collected in the United States were banks and trains.
