A history of architecture, in miniature, is seen here through a
century of children's toys. For years, toy buildings have inspired
the imaginations of both children and adults. Valued as collectible
items and praised for architectural design, toy buildings provide
hours of fun as well as educational insight into the times in which
they were made. This book includes over 550 photographs of toy
villages, dollhouses, barns, stables, schools, fire stations,
stores, theaters, airports, railroad depots, garages, service
stations, castles, forts, and other structures. Photographs from
catalogs and magazines verify dates of production and manufacturers
including Marx, Schoenhut, Bliss, Gottschalk, Plasticville,
Keystone, Rich, Arcade, Built-Rite, Converse, Chein, Ohio Art,
Renwal, and Tri-ang. Estimated prices are provided in the captions
and sources for finding toy buildings are listed. This book will be
an indispensable tool for collectors of toy vehicles, model
railroads, playsets, dollhouses, gas station memorabilia, and toy
soldiers.
