Old Antique Toys

This blog discusses old toys from the early 1920's to the end of the 1950's. All kinds of topics are discussed. The time span was the greatest period for "hands-on" toys, where a young child could actually go outside and play for hours at a time. You can see the elegance but simple design of these toys. It was a time when huge machines, and people made and finished toys by hand. The era has long passed, but many of the toys are still around, and that is what I would like to share.

Revisiting Mr. Ron Michaud

If you read my blog regularly, you'll know that I have been returning to my earlier posts to see who I have wrote about. I'm very grateful to all of the very helpful toy collectors, sellers, and companies who have "kept me busy" writing and learning about toys.

Mr. Ron Michaud:

I've been blogging since 2011, and have been writing posts about Mr. Ron Michaud and his fine toys since at least 2014. His "trademark " for photographing his toys is to place them on his porch railing.

And his "logo" on his ebay store site is what you see below:

(You can also find him by OldToys69 or do an ebay search for Ron Michaud.

He has an excellent 100% positive feedback, and his descriptions are honest.
