"MECHANICAL TIN TOYS"

Collecting antique and vintage toys for fun and profit has been popular
 for decades.  Many collections that were begun as lifelong hobbies have
turned into multi-million dollar endeavors.  Tin mechanical toys have
 been one of the more sought after categories for decades.  It includes
 both  friction and wind-up toys made in Germany from companies
such as Lehmann, Bing, Planck and Marklin before and
after World War I. 

Also included are Japanese battery-operated, and wind-up
space and robot toys made by Marusan, Cragstan
and Linemar after WWII.  A wide variety of toys from Germany,
Japan and American spanning the period 1900 to 1960 will be
discussed and displayed by Dr. Gary Moss, who has been
collecting toys since the early 1970s.
