Cast iron toys are among the hottest toy collectibles today. Some
of the best known of these were made by Kenton, an Ohio firm that
operated from the 1890s to the 1950s. Their famous Kenton toys
include children's savings banks, toy stoves, trains, circus
caravans, cars, fire trucks, nostalgic horse-and-buggy lines, and
nodders, all identified and shown here in color photographs and
original catalog illustrations. Most famous of all was the
authentic Gene Autry toy pistol, which was unveiled in 1937. Two
million of these were sold in the first year and a half, and the
company prospered from the Singong Cowboy's popularity until 1951.
This marvelously well-illustrated and researched book traces the
history of Kenton from its days as a boomtown hardware manufacturer
in the nineteenth century through the struggles of the two world
wars. The growth of the American toy industry is reflected in the
chronicle of this important company told with details from the
company archives and with the engaging testimony of company
employees. The story of Gene Autry's festive visit to Kenton is
delightful!
