About the book >.>.> Collecting toys is an immensely popular hobby nowadays, and one that keeps innumerable specialized toy fairs "swap meets" as they are generally known - regularly attracting busy crowds week in and week out and feeding the enthusiasms of toy collectors throughout the world. But why are the toys of bygone days so desirable to own? There is, of course, in all of us an inexplicable "magpie" streak that the hobby helps to satisfy, whether it is manifested in collections of toy trains or cars or character figures. There is also the aesthetic aspect of collecting examples of past craftsmanship, for the toys of yesteryear generally display far greater qualities of workmanship, decoration and ingenuity in their mechanical actions than do their modern counterparts. They also act as tiny three-dimensional time capsules, bringing with them across the years much of the craftsmanship of a long-vanished way of life, together with some of its atmosphere. Turn-of-the century toys, for. Seller Inventory # Batch-FM430-VG-9827
