Trade catalogs are perhaps one of the best sources of business history available today. While manuscripts and printed reports are valuable, the illustrated catalogs have no equal because, after all, a picture is worth a thousand words. This beautifully illustrated book features countless catalog reprints of toy catalogs from various company's such as Sears, Roebuck & Co., Tinker Toy, Montgomery Ward, The Youth's Companion, etc. Every kind of toy imaginable is in this book: scooters, jack knives, dolls, rocking horses...etc! It also includes a fascinating section on the evolution of toys. For any historian, Victoriana buff, antique toy enthusiasts, or toy lover in general, this peek back into time will be well appreciated.
