Antique Toys have long been a popular collectors item. There are many things that have added to the demand for vintage and antique toys. Probably the largest factor is the aging baby boomer population. Its natural as we grow older to long for thing from out past and what brings back better memories than our old toys that have now become antiques.
Remember that old fire engine , dump truck or toy tractor you had as a kid. Didn't you cry for hours when you lost it in the sandbox or left it at the beach. Toys like old Buddy L construction trucks, toy John Deere farm implements, and many other of the quality made toys from years past are now highly sought after collectors items. Today's kids don't know what they are missing. With all the new fangled digital toys we have stifled the imagination of the younger generation. No longer do they pretend to be firemen, construction workers or farms when playing with toys. Today they act out the roles in video games and more often than not it involves violence and crime. I hope some day these kids look back on the antique toys of our era and realize what they have missed.
