AMERICAN ANTIQUE TOYS 1830-1900  by Bernard Barenholtz and Inez McClintock, Harry N. Abrams, NY, 1980. 
285 color and black-and-white photographs, many double-page spreads, and multipage foldouts highlight this most informative text on antique American toys made between 1830 and 1900.  “Here they are: the bell toys, circus and transportation toys, rocking horses and hobby horses, push and pull toys, balls, hoops, tops, squeak toys, and banks (both mechanical and still) that American children in the period from 1830 until the turn of the century.  Handmade or mass produced, they are beautifully and soundly crafted in the materials - chiefly wood, tin, and cast iron - that toymakers worked with in the pre-plastics era.”  Of special value is a chapter on “Identification and Trademarks” and a list of “The Manufacturers.”  This book is an invaluable reference for the collector, dealer or historian of antique toys.
