Happy Happy Thursday!
Today I wanted to take you back in time.
A time where we played with toys.
Bob and I found a distributor of vintage toys.
Not made in China, but made in England.
We love how they package
these toys in vintage boxes.
Peruse through these pics and
let me know if you may have recognized these.
Maybe you might even have a favorite.
I know my granddaughter Mikayla
sure loves these monkey Drums!
Magic Tricks upper left.
Clockwork Teeth upper right.
Whoopie Cushion lower left.
Kazoos lower right.
The Old Maid and Go Fish Cards are a fan favorite.
Also these Kaleidoscopes.
(We have had to order more)
Leap Frog, Chinese Checkers and Chess.
Spiromania, I-Spy and these fun bird heads.
Do you remember chunky little books.
Now they add a hole where the animal
appears on each page.
Pick up Sticks were a fav in our home.
So were Jacks.
My brother also had a wooden plane
(middle left)
We also sell puzzle books.
When we first put up our toy display
back in late June,
I had one lady customer come in
and admire all of these toys.
She then commented to me that they were nice,
but no one will buy them.
I sure wish she would come back in to see
in fact folks do buy them....and they love them!
We had to order more and even expanded
the toy line.
Marbles
Marble Run Game
Binoculars
Compass
More magic tricks
Much more....
This company even has a Christmas line.
We plan on ordering more
for the holiday season.
These make great gifts right now
and stocking stuffers
later on.
Toy Blessings To All!

ReplyDeleteThank you very much Susie! Janice
DeleteLove these games !!! They are so much fun !!! Great idea to carry those in your store !!! Cmas items would be Fun to see !!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Will show the Xmas items in Nov or Dec. Janice
DeleteThose toys remind me of the ones in Pollock's Toy Shop in London (one of my favorite magical places!) The packaging is part of the fun. I hope in another year or two our oldest will be ready for something like that. I hope that he doesn't skip board games and go video. Board games are such a learning thing -- very tactile!
ReplyDeleteWell the distributor is out of England so maybe it is the same one. We love the packaging too! Janice
DeleteI love them and the

ReplyDeleteThanks Bobbie! We are so excited to add all of our Halloween decor. Cannot wait! Janice
DeleteI would buy just because! Love the little books.
ReplyDeleteI loved these little books as a kid and still do! Janice
DeleteI remember quite a few of these games from my childhood. Some of those packages would fit right in with my vintage games display I put out at holidays time.
ReplyDeleteWe ship! Just a thought if interested. Janice
DeleteSQUEAL!!!!! I absolutely LOVE these Janice....they cannot help but be a hit....especially with children (and parents!) being home more these days and the holidays coming up in no time. We didn't have many games or toys growing up, but I do remember playing Old Maid and Go Fish when cousins got together. I see several I would snap up even though I have no littles to buy for anymore LOL. Fun, fun, fun!! ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteOld Maid and Go Fish are our best sellers right now. Thanks for your sweet comment! Janice
DeleteWhat fun...and I love that they were NOT made in China.
ReplyDeleteWe are glad not made in China too! Janice
