#554 Valtoy – Coche Acrobático Super Fricción (Around 1978)

Valtoy is the construct used past times the Sociedad Valenciana del Juguete S.A., a companionship founded inwards Alicante to a greater extent than or less 1975. It was some other toy companionship which reached a rather high expose of workers past times the destination of the 70s (over 120), but afterward declined together with disappeared onetime during the 80.

Unfortunately at that spot is no data available on the internet, except a twain of patents registered inwards the mid 70s, together with a lot of products for sale inwards sites similar todocoleccion.net. If you lot convey data almost this company, together with desire to part it, delight travel out a comment below.

The machine presented inwards this entry is made of tin amongst a plastic base. I works life it a few Christmas ago, together with bought it actually inexpensive novel together with boxed equally you lot meet it correct directly inwards the pictures. I intend it is a quite interesting toy, an acrobatic machine amongst a really powerful friction motor together with a plastic cone to expand the play possibilities. It is in all probability a re-create or a license from some other company. It reminds me a flake of the Japanese toys from Tonka, but this is only my impression.If this were true, the machine powerfulness live slightly newer equally indicated, in all probability from the early on to mid 80s.

The same model was available inwards 2 decorations: rally (white/red/blue) together with law (green/white).
I must say, that I convey never tested this toy or removed it from the box, but it must live actually fun to play with.

#694 Robots, Spaceships Together With Other Tin Forcefulness Out Toys (The Teruhisa Kitahara Collection)

First I bring to tell that this is non just a mass you lot read. It has just three pages amongst text, inwards which the writer explains a couplet of things close his collection. Mr Teruhisa Kitahara has established seven museums inwards Nippon too is a renowned too famous toy collector inwards his country.

The residue of the mass (it has closed to 350 pages) are simply (impressive) amount page pictures of toys (photographed yesteryear Yukio Shimizu). There is a big chapter dealing exclusively amongst robots too spaceships, too 2 shorter chapters dealing amongst cars too figures & scenarios.

The photos are impressive, because the toys themselves are amazing. Rare too mint pieces of toys from the 1920´s to the 1970´s, most of them from Japanese brands like: Nomura, Yonezawa, Line Mar, Horikawa, Bandai, Masudaya, Daiya... The fascination of Nippon amongst robots comes since a long time. In the tenth trial of Figuras En Acción I wrote close robots, too at that spot I learnt how the Japanese toy manufacture was created afterward WW2 too how they manufactured for American companies similar Cragstan. This operate is non inwards the book, if you lot desire to larn to a greater extent than close Japanese tin robots, you´ll ask some other book, this ane is exclusively to await at too give away marvelous one-time toys.

While watching it, I genuinely though of my recent see to the Toy Museum inwards Singapore, that equally good features a dandy collection of toys, amongst ane flooring of their edifice dedicated exclusively to robots too infinite toys.

So, I recommend the mass for people who are interested inwards curious toys, but amongst the remark, that at that spot is null to read close history or whatsoever interesting facts close the toys. Each toy has its name, the toymaker companionship too the decade inwards which it was built. In 2 item cases, I detected that the deccade was wrong: inwards the machine chapter, at that spot are 2 dissimilar James Bond´s Aston Martin DB5 (from the Goldfinger movie), too they are both dated 1950s... piece the moving-picture demo is from 1964, if I hollo back properly.

#873 Biedermeier (Lidya L. Dewiel) In Addition To Zinn (Renate Dolz) (Heyne Bücher)

This is a rare serial of books edited inwards Federal Republic of Federal Republic of Germany inwards the early on 70s dealing amongst antiquities. In principle, these books convey zippo to create amongst toys, but, interestingly, most of them include at to the lowest degree a brusk chapter dealing amongst toys.

I convey 2 books.

The kickoff majority is Biedermeier, an is written past times Lydia L. Dewiel. Biedermeier is an age that goes from 1815 to 1848 too is specific to primal Europe. It is ordinarily used to get upward specificly to the arts an crafts that flourisched during those years, althought the term tin hold out every bit good used inwards a wider sense. This majority includes a brusk chapter close toys:

The minute i is Zinn past times Renate Dolz, that explores the unlike types of objects made of tin too tin-based alloys (pewter) throught the ages. The concluding chapter is dedicated to tin figures, too although it is quite brusk it includes a prissy introduction to the topic.

There are many other books inwards this series, I volition definitely purchase them if I convey the chance. All are illustrated amongst drawings of objects, too every bit good roughly photographies.
