Ray Gun – Toys Series No. 1
Early science fiction often described or depicted ray gun beams making bright light and loud noise like lightning or large electric arcs. The word "ray gun" was first used by Victor Rousseau in 1917. The variety of designs spark the imagination to this day.
Steam Shovel & Horse – Toys Series No. 2
When the transient nature of modern life has you down, a well-made, quality toy from the past makes all right again.
Planes – Toys Series No. 3
Since 1903, when the Wright Brothers pioneered flight, toy planes have fascinated children around the world. We have marveled at their many shapes and configurations as well.
Camper – Toys Series No. 4
Here is a Japanese toy camper from the 1950’s. The time-worn patina and the sleek design serve as an inspiration for rugged adventure.
Zeppelin – Toys Series No. 5
Here is a tinned sheet metal model of a 1928 Graf Zeppelin. We feel in love with the patina acquired over time and with the complex active engagement it encouraged in children.
