The most complete collection of civilian toy figures by Heyde & Co. of Dresden, Germany
In stunning color photos and easy-to-read captions, this book portrays
the variety, whimsy, and scope of toy lead civilian figures made by the
prolific German manufacturer Georg Heyde & Co. of Dresden
(1872–1945).
From domestic animals to nodding knickknacks, from cast-metal banks to breathtaking polar playsets, this is the first
publication to focus solely on these beautifully crafted figures that
once graced the shelves of five-and-dimes, souvenir shops, and great
department stores worldwide.
Now quite rare and highly sought after,
Heyde civilians still delight young and old and seasoned and new collectors
alike, because each one is a uniquely created treasure that evokes
feelings of yesteryear and the wonder of childhood.
