Anyone know of or have any tin toys?

I knew of their existence, but didn't pay much mind to them until my sister bought me one for my birthday a year ago. I just adore it. I have it sitting on my desk staring at me XD It's a little red robot.

They're not really my generation but I love them. Haha. If I had the money I would buy a lot of them.

Actually, this is exactly the one I have:



He winds up and can move :D

thats so cool!

Aw! :D That just the sort of thing I'd like to see on an antiquing adventure. I'd snap things like that up in a second. They're so cute! n_n

When I was about five, I got a little wind-up tin snail because I had a great fascination with snailies. I still have it and I remember I would always play with it and watch it zoom on the floor.

I love little vintage things.

I've known of their existance, but they're something i've only ever seen featured on the Antiques Roadshow. They are cute though.
