You know I love old toys, but this old? I don't collect toys quite this old but I can appreciate them and I love to look at toys of any age in old catalogs. I'm fascinated by what children played with in any era. The funny thing is that the toys aren't all that different.

This is one of the catalogs that came out of the largest Barbie museum in Palo Alto, CA.
Many of the Barbie catalogs and books I've posted in the last year or two have come out of that collection. Each of these books, from outside the US, have dolls and fashions that were not produced here in America. It is cool to see those items!
