Customer Reviews

Great collector book

My Dad, who is an avid toy car and truck collector really enjoyed this book. Great book and resource for those who enjoy collecting such things.

Little wheels keep on turnin' with antique toy vehicles.

In the 1970's-80's Lillian Gottschalk, with her husband Bill, built a collection of boys' toys that would overflow any sandbox. From cast iron taxis to giant pressed steel Buddy L trucks, the Gottschalks assembled one of the country's best collections of classic 1920's-30's automotive pieces. The collection was sold several years ago for several million, but readers can enjoy detailed photos and information from the pre-scrap drive era. Bill Holland, a professional photographer, takes great care to offer these toys in variety of settings. A large, coffee table book that will inspire any gathering to reminisce about their youth. - Leila Dunbar, Writer Mobilia.com
