With some rare farm toys fetching up to $6,000 at auction, toy tractor collecting is a serious hobby. This is the only book that provides the history of toy tractors and of farm toys in general. Toy Farm Tractors details all the makers of farm toys and their famous models from classic vintage toys to the modern high-tech, high-quality toys. Fabulous color photos by Andy Kraushaar, packaging and catalog artwork, and advertisements showcase the miniature farm tractors. You’ll also find information on steam engines, threshers, implements, farm trucks, horse-drawn machinery, and more.

Intro to Farm Toy Collecting,
By "buckeye54" (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Toy Farm Tractors: An Entertaining History of Toy Tractors and Toy Farm Collectibles (Hardcover)
This book was a disappointment. This gives the reader a intro to farm toy collecting. It is not a resource book. The the average farm toy collector, there is not any new information in this book. It is for the beginner.
