ANTIQUES OF AMERICAN CHILDHOOD by Katharine Morrison McClinton, Clarkson N. Potter, Inc., NY, 1970/1971.
Given 380 black-and-white illustrations with identifying captions, this early out-of-print book is a definitive survey of childhood antiques including furniture, dishes, dolls and doll houses, school toys, indoor and outdoor games, hobbyhorses, shooflies, velocipedes, push and pull toys and more.
Over one thousand items are illustrated and described in this fascinating text. The following subjects are covered by chapter: Coral and Bells, Children’s Silver, and Christening Cradles; Children’s Costumes; Children’s Buttons; Schoolbooks and Schooling; Books for Amusement; Children’s Furniture; Hobbyhorses, Shooflies, and Velocipedes; Children’s Dishes; Children’s Needlework; Outdoor Games; Indoor Games; Push and Pull Toys; Dolls; Doll’s Houses; Paper Toys; Cloth Toys; Bibliography; and Index. In addition to numerous photographs of American childhood antiques, this book has illustrations of toys and children taken from contemporary portraits and from books and magazines of the period, with frequent quotations from the advertisements in these first magazines for boys and girls. There’s a wealth of information in this book, which would make a wonderful addition to the permanent reference library of the collector, dealer or historian of antique children’s toys.
