A wonderfully evocative catalog from the Cold War era, our original 24-page catalog had been bound into the November 22, 1953 Life magazine. Each page has four toys, with the heading "American-Made Toys for American Girls and Boys," There's a picture, price, and manufacturer for each toy. I myself had several of these classics, and other Boomers of that time are sure to recognize favorites of their own.

Among the many toys are:

• Bikes and tricycles.
• Blocks and building toys.
• Cars & trucks of all sorts.
• Cosmetics kits
• Doctor kits.
• Dolls
• Doll beds and other doll furniture.
• Doll carriages.
• Doll stroller from - Gong Bell Mfg.Co.
• Games: Clue, Sorry, Monopoly, many others.
• Gun & holster sets.
• Lincoln Logs.
• Lone Ranger toys.
• Musical instruments.
• Pedal toys and sit-on trucks.
• Pull toys.
• Puppets and marionettes.

We have digitally reproduced the original catalog at an extremely high resolution, and printed the pages on a heavy soft-gloss stock. This is not a photocopy - our methods allow us to retain an unusual image clarity and depth of detail. The true spiral binding, unlike a comb binding, allows this book to remain unharmed when left open at the desired place. Heavyweight clear vinyl covers protect the front and back.

Be sure to check back for new releases.

A charming and informative vintage catalog, and a wonderful and unusual gift for yourself or someone special.
