This is the first comprehensive catalog and price guide covering
all four ranges of miniature toy vehicles produced by Barclay
Manufacturing Company, Inc. (New Jersey) from 1932 to 1971. It
covers nearly 2,000 variations of these toys along with a history
of the company, the manufacturing process, detailed identification
grids and explanations, rarity notations, pricing ranges, a
biography, and over 650 color photos. Barclay began producing
miniature transports and trains in the early 1930s and added trucks
and cars in the 1950s. All four ranges were produced until the
company closed in 1971. The toys were colorful, well-designed,
inexpensive, and popular throughout the period they were produced.
The appendix includes pictures of related toys. Since most of these
toys do not identify the manufacturer and many variations are rare,
the book is indispensable for anyone interested in collectable
toys.
The Barclay Manufacturing Company of New Jersey produced wonderful,
now highly collectible toy cars and car transports from 1932
through 1971. This book is the first to provide comprehensive
catalog listings and prices for every known variation and color of
all car transports and cars made by Barclay, in all four separate
series. With few exceptions, these beloved vehicles were not marked
with the manufacturer's name or country of origin. Over 75
beautiful, full color images display these cars and transports,
allowing easy identification for the very first time. The detailed
text provides a history of the company, an enumeration of the four
series, the production methods and painting techniques of each
series, various packaging techniques employed by Barclay,
identification and pricing guidelines, and fourteen identification
charts. Values are found in the text.
