Vintage Toys Never Go Out Of Style

Retro Toys-Vintage toys: They grab at our heartstrings and drag us back into a time and place that we might have almost forgot. Just as unique and fascinating today as they were fifty or a hundred years ago. Most were usually made of wood, steel, cast iron or a combination of these materials.

Vintage toys were built to last a lifetime and they usually did! The paint faded over time, the metal rusted from being forgotten out in the backyard, but their basic framework survived. They are timeless creations and as popular today as they were yesterday. Vintage toys never go out of style.

Best gifts for a five year old boy 

He is imaginative and curious. He is a 5 year old boy, and he is as content to play alone by himself, as he is to play with a boy his own age, his mother or father, or anyone else who might wander his way.

He is just figuring out what his world is all about and he is enjoying experimenting with all the wonderful gizmos, gadgets and ideas that come his way. Because boys have such an imaginative nature at this age, they are only too willing to investigate any new concept offered in their direction, and this makes.............Read More

The little stove that you have in your intro picture... did you know that wasn't originally a toy? My husband told me about them when I saw one in an antique store. They were used as models by traveling salesmen to show housewives what their stove looked like, and how you would cook on it. It was a sales model.

I am not sure if someone got the idea to maufacuter them as toys afterwards, or if they just crept into use as toys as old models were replaced by new every year or two, and the old ones were doled out to children. But what fun to have one and a Laura Ingalls doll to play with!
