Description :

A playful and nostalgic assortment of vintage tin toys, featuring a variety of wind-up mechanisms, lithographed surfaces, and mid-century charm. While some pieces may be attributed to iconic makers such as Marx, Schuco, or Yonezawa, others reflect the broader craftsmanship of American, German, and Japanese toy production from the 1930s to 1960s.

This eclectic collection includes vehicles, novelty figures, and mechanical toys—each with its own patina of play and story to tell. Ideal for collectors, decorators, or anyone drawn to the artistry of vintage childhood.

Note:  Marx Balky Mule and Marx Dial Typewriter were made by Louis Marx and Company.  The Company was founded in 1919 and was the largest toy manufacturer in the world.  Their tin lithograph toys were popular for their intricate designs and engaging wind-up mechanisms.
