An interesting look into the past
Published by Gabe , 1 year ago
As always, dealing with Triftbooks, my order arrived pleasantly earlier than expected. The product was in better condition than advertised. The book however was not as good as hoped for. Half of it was of bad, shadowy, black and white photographs. There was no detail in most of the pics. Unfortunately these illustrations take up approximately half of the book. I would have also preferred to have the dates written down with each toy. Even an approximate circa date, would’ve been helpful. The last half of the book was perfect. Put together well with a lot of thought. Turning each page was like riding in a time machine. Just imagine if you could order these items, at those prices today. Despite the bad photos, and lack of dates on the photographs, this is still a good book.
A Virtual Encyclopedia For Toy and Bank Collectors

The 208 page, 8 x 11" softbound book contains thousands of good black and white pictures and numerous old catalog pages with tons of interesting and useful information. Some catalogs go back to the early 1900s. Major topics include tin and heavy guage, cast iron, banks, boxed games, composition animals and bell toys. There is a complete index with prices ('94-'95). A very useful and interesting reference work.
