No toy collection is complete without these two volumes which comprise an encyclopaedia of most of the toy machines available from c.1870 – 1980, although the emphasis is on later models. Each machine is illustrated in full colour from photographs supplied by collectors. The books contain price guides - unreliable, of course - and are often to be found in shops and antiques markets; from Collector Books, Amazon.com |
