antique toy

Old collectible plaything

An antique toy is a plaything old enough to be considered a collectible, typically at least a hundred years old.

The category includes tin soldiers, wooden rocking horses, early dolls, and mechanical banks.

Collectors distinguish antique toys from merely vintage ones, which may be only a few decades old: The antique toy fair featured items from the Victorian era.
