The Greater Boston Antique & Collectible Toy Show recaptures your
youth with over a hundred years of nostalgia on display. From the 1880s to the
1980s; from early cast iron to fine German tinplate. This important show
represents nearly 100 tables of available childhood treasures.
The Greater Boston Antique & Collectible Toy Show is the place to find
these and many more, such as model kits, action figures, G. I. Joes, Barbies,
Holiday Open House Tonka, Buddy-L, and tin litho from Chein to Marx. As you can imagine, all
these toys together on display make a truly beautiful sight.
December 14th & 15th Antique toys are generally considered to be those made around WWII or
earlier, at least fifty years ago. These would be the very old cast iron toy fire
wagons and trucks, painted, wooden, pull toys, Lincoln Logs, Erector sets,
some dolls, some toy soldiers, Tinker Toys, pressed steel vehicles, early
American plastic, old board games, some early toy guns and comic characters.
Collectible toys are all antique toys, of course, along with those made
within the last fifty years that have withstood the test of time and piqued the
imagination and interest of toy lovers and collectors. A toy from our own
childhood that evokes happy memories is collectible! A die-cast of our dream
car, or our own car, or Dad’s car is collectible!
