antique toys

Old children's treasures

Antique toys are playthings from earlier eras, typically at least a hundred years old, valued as collectibles rather than for play.

The category includes tin soldiers, porcelain dolls, wooden trains, and mechanical banks.

Age, condition, and rarity determine value: The antique toys in her collection came from her great-grandmother.

The phrase sometimes loosely describes any vintage or retro toys.
