Table of Contents OUR NOTES: In our modern, politically-correct, gender-neutral world, perhaps it is a bit dangerous to classify certain vintage toys as girls toys. And yet, most housekeeping toys were primarily purchased for and played with by girls, although many a boy joined in the fun of pretend! Covering from 1870-1970, this book helps collectors and dealers identify and value vintage housekeeping toys - those which are normally called girls toys. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only book currently in print which uses this approach to group, classify and study this important topic. Topics covered include: - Toy Stoves, both cast iron & metal & their cookware
- General toy kitchenware, grinders, utensils, mixers, etc.
- Mini furniture, kitchen pantry, cupboards, refrigerators, sinks, etc.
- Tin cups & saucers, canister sets, baking ovens & supplies
- Toy booms, sweepers, toy washing machines (including wringer types)
- Irons, ironing boards, table ware, dining sets, china, tea sets
- Toy silverware, toy household & doll furniture & related
- Tin litho doll houses, toy sewing machines & much more
