Most people know the toy "Etch A Sketch," but relatively few know that Ohio Art Company produced it and some of America's most beautifully lithographed popular toys. Over 400 color photographs of toys from the 1920s through the 1980s and the text explore the evolution of Ohio Art. Catalog pages, information for determining dates of production, and a guide to current values make this a must for toy collectors.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not as complete as it could have been.,
By Okanagan Dreamin' (North Vancouver, B.C. Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ohio Art: The World of Toys (Paperback)
I bought this book as I collect the metal farm playsets made by the Ohio Art Co. I was quite disappointed as they had very little information on them. They made many more sets that what is covered in this book. However, if you are interested in their children's watering cans or dish sets, you'll be in heaven as they must show just about everything they ever made. Quite impressive!

Is there a section in the book that shows the various Ohio Art logos and the dates they were used?
