CHINESE TIN TOYS

Basic List And Origins Where Known.

There seems to be very little information available on Chinese tin toys. This is, initially, just an attempt to track down all the numbers and names of the toys produced in China. Many Chinese toys are original designs, others are copies or probably 're-manufactures' made using, mainly, Japanese machinery. With re-manufactures the metal pressing will be identical but usually the lithography will be entirely different.
