Dinky Toys must be one of the most successful and collectable toys
ever made. These delightfully stylish photographs feature models
from the golden age of the Dinky toy - an era that will be
remembered fondly by every post-war baby-boomer, both men and
women. Now the subject of serious interest from collectors
worldwide many of these models have re-emerged as highly
collectable, often selling at very high prices. But the toys that
feature here are neither pristine or shiny. Collected over the
years by photographer Kim Sayer, their charm is in the chips, dents
and worn paint work - toys that have been played with and loved.
His affection for them is obvious, as each model is given its own
delightful setting, reflecting a more gentle and innocent
era.Visual puns abound - the Landrover, "a fine model of a vehicle
designed to go anywhere and do anything" climbs its way up a
staircase, whilst the Avro York Airliner takes off from the ironing
board, and an open-top sports car zooms along fighting the gale
force winds of an electric fan. Many of the photographs also play
off against the original marketing tagline used to sell the models:
'Just look at the remarkable detail on this exciting model of
Britain's famous centurion tank. It is a welcome reinforcement for
the playroom army.' 'Here is a fine new model, the Humber Police
Patrol Car containing uniformed driver and patrolman.' These are
wonderful photographs that will appeal to all ages - particularly
to those who will remember their days of short trousered bliss
crawling about on the floor for hours on end, their imaginations
fired by the splendour of their Dinky toys.

In 1997 sixty-two containers fell off the cargo ship Tokio Express
after it was hit by a rogue wave off the coast of Cornwall,
including one container filled with nearly five million pieces of
Lego, much of it sea themed. In the months that followed,
beachcombers started to find Lego washed up on beaches across the
south west coast. Among the pieces they discovered were octopuses,
sea grass, spear guns, life rafts, scuba tanks, cutlasses, flippers
and dragons. The pieces are still washing up today.

In 1971, my family of four left the bustle of the city for the
suburbs of Long Island where we discovered the world of garage
sales and flea markets. Before long we were a part of the action,
creating "Happy Days," a 30-year family business entailing the
buying and selling of antique and collectible toys.
We never thought that our middle class suburban family would
traverse the United States and the globe encountering humorous and
surprising situations wherever we went. After all, who would
suspect that something as innocent as selling children's playthings
would lead to dealing with mobsters, actors, dreamers, schemers and
at least one murderer?!

Although the name "Corgi Toys" was not introduced until 1955, the
roots of the original holding company, Mettoy, go back to 1932 when
a German toymaker called Philipp Ullmann arrived in Britain to form
a new toy manufacturing company. This company produced many types
of toys, both before and after the Second World War, mainly in
tinplate.
In the 1950s Mettoy began to produce diecast metal toys and hence,
in 1956 the first Corgi Toys were released to the children's toy
market and proved an immediate success. Over the next 30 years
hundreds of miniature vehicles would be modeled on contemporary
vehicles such as Vauxhalls, Rileys, Hillmans, Standards, Commers
and ERFs. Corgi also made daring and successful ventures into
film-and-TV related toys with their versions of James Bond, The
Saint and Batmobile cars selling millions. Life-long collector
David Cooke explores the history of Corgi Toys, describing the
various models and illustrating how these simple children's toys
became valuable collectables. He also charts the recent financial
problems faced by the company, and their resurgence based upon
Limited Edition collectors' models sold direct to an adult market.
Presented here are one hundred classic-era (1880s-1940s) Hopi and
Zuni carved dolls from private and public collections that have
rarely, if ever, been put on exhibition and that collectively form
a profound and powerful assembly of the very finest examples from
the classic period in Kachina carving. Andrea Portago has
gracefully photographed these rare figures using available light so
as not to distort their colours and to reveal their movement and
drama, passion and personality.

Harnessing the romance of the world of fashion and high art, this

Cocteau, and other members of the 1944 haute couture industry, the
story follows 237 miniature fashion dolls through their epic tour
of Europe and North America, bringing fashion, elegance, and beauty
into a war-torn world. Also included are new colour photographs of

clothing so sewers, designers, and fashion mavens can appreciate
