After antique watches, jade, jadeite, zisha teapots, rare stamps, coins, crystal, and amber, the collecting world has been swept by a frenzy of collecting antique toys, rediscovering the joys of childhood. With over 30 years of collecting experience, Li Yinghao shares the delights of this hobby with readers. The book is divided into two sections: The first section briefly discusses the essentials of collecting, preserving, and repairing, describing the features and astonishingly rare early toys. The second section focuses on which antique porcelain dolls, cartoon toys, robots, toy trains, airplanes, early tin toys, and plastic toys are worth collecting, and provides simple methods for identifying toy bears, toys from famous factories, vintage toy money boxes, and antique marbles. Packed with colorful illustrations, it serves as a reference guide for collectors.
