| | | The picture shows both sides of the (2) Small Old TINKER TOYS Paper Items in this lot. The bottom one pictured is an instruction card for Tinker Toy Building Sets. The other is a long colorful fold out two-sided advertising booklet from the Toy Tinkers Inc. of Evanston, Illinois. It advertises many different old Tinker Toys. Each old toy is pictured within a scene in color and has the name of the toy within the text of a poem. The old toys appear to be all old wooden ones. I am guessing that this is from the 1920's. This piece has obviously come apart in sections, but it is still a very nice looking advertising piece. Most people are aware of the building sets that were (and still are made), but here are the pictures of many other different toys that were made by the company. Many are old pull toys. This booklet probably came with one of the toys. Since the names of the toys can not be read from the scan the "TOYS FROM TINKER TOWN" are as follows: GYM TINKER CLOWN DRAG-ON TINKER BABY DOLL TINKER SIREN TINKER TINKER NECKLACE TINKER TRICK CIRCUS PUP TINKER BEADS WHIRLY TINKER TOM TINKER TINKER JUMP ROPE TINKER MULE (with Black Man) PONY TINKER TINKER AUTO RACER ABACUS TINKER TINKER BUNNY TINKERPINS GAME TOM TINKER'S SISTER BELLE TINKER DOGS BILLY GOAT TINKER LIFE GUARD TINKER TINKER TOY BUILDING SETS To judge the sizes the fold out booklet measures 21-1/2" x 2-5/8". They are in the condition as pictured. |
