Iron Cast Toys - A Vintage Antique Collectible Toys

Cast Iron, a very popular method of crafting toys and model cars in the 19th century. It fell out of favor during WWII because the military needed iron. Cast as a single piece from a mold and ground into more refined shapes, an iron toy car is a rare but awesome find.

The tendency toward using cast iron to make cars stopped during WWII but the trend began to shift away from this material during the 1850s. When the steel industry began to flourish in the United States, sheet steel cars became more popular because of the level of details that could be integrated into them.

Toy collecting has become the mainstay of toy collectors. Collectors with a passion for antique toys often build their collections with toys that bring back fond memories from their past. Sometimes collections begin because of a special find in a garage sale or a flea market, or from rummaging through an attic or basement. To many of these collectors their toys represent more than antiques with a monetary value.

Iron cast toys are fashioned by master craftsmen from around the world and have been treasured through the years, and are highly popular as collectibles and nostalgic items.

Vintage Tin Toys

Tin Metal Toys is the main type of metal used to create toys from the 1820s until WWII.
 

Tin Metals was flexible enough to cover toy cars, trucks and houses with tin-plating over wood. The toy cars evolved into spring loaded toys made entirely out of tin.

Pressed tin became popular in the early 1800s, before the steel industry tool off in the United States. Pressed tin is easy to paint and reasonably easy to manipulate, making it a great material for more intricate toys and models.

While it largely fell out of popularity for children's toys by the 1940s, tin's light weight and low price made it great materials for cans where it remains in use today. The collectible market for pressed tin cars is very strong because of their sharp looks and exquisite details.

The tin ore mines discovered in Illinois were depleted during WWII and tin was replaced by plastic sheeting. After the tin was no longer used, the toys became discarded or melted down for other manufacturing purposes.

Today, it became a vintage collectibles item for retails window display or an interior decoration item. It gives a familiar atmosphere and a warm touch.
