About this product

Product Information

Now that computer games have come to stay, tin toys have become obsolete for today's children. For those of us who remember them from times past, these tin toys can transport us back to our childhoods; they call up a vision of a time we thought we had already forgotten. They also bear witness to history; they have survived wars and crises, and tell us something of the fashions, colors and tendencies of their times. This book will be of special interest to anyone fascinated by early space travel and technology, those who simply want to wax nostalgic about a bygone era of their youth, and of course to collectors and fans of 50s and 60s tin toys. The roots of today's toys can be seen in these precursors, notably in the early transformer robots. Taken from collector Teruhisa Kitahara's vast collection, which is on display in many museums in Japan, the tin toys featured here are quite rare and give a wonderful overview of this era in the history of toys. A must for any toy lover!

I was offered a choice between two copies. The book was mostly as pictured and described, yet the pages had a downward sag and the front board had a crumpled corner from being dropped on it once upon a time--things that were not mentioned/clarified and which may have led me to choose the seller's other copy instead. Overall, the price was the best available for the book on eBay and the seller was responsive and quick to deliver. It's good.

    An Excellent Pictorial on Toy Robots

    This item is actually a hard back book, not a paperback. I bought the book because I am an avid collector of toy robots, especially those made of tin. I was thrilled by the wonderful color plates and amazing array of robot models. I wish it had some commentary about the robots, but that is not the purpose for which it was intended. It is one of the best pictorials on toy robots I have seen,and I am glad to have purchased it.

    Great pix, little commentary

    Lords beautiful pictures, very little as far as descriptions. Was really hoping to use this to tell originals from knockoffs, again some great color shots.
