Grandpa's Toys on "American Pickers"
If you have seen "American Pickers" on the History Channel, you have probably noticed that occasionally they will acquire an old battery toy. Often, they will contact me to see if I have a video of the toy they have discovered. On Monday February 11 at 9:00 EST on the HIstory Channel, my video of "GI Joe and the K-9 Pups" was shown. If you missed it, it can still be seen on future reruns.

Other toy videos I have contributed to the show can still be be seen on reruns. They include a Charlie Weaver on Episode 71, and a Cragstan Antique Shaking Car on Episode 80.

If you are fascinated by vintage battery operated toys, you have come to the right place. These wonderful toys were usually made from recycled tin in Japan prior to 1970. Under "Toy Store" we have toys, parts, and other items for sale. Under "Toy Repair" you will find information concerning repair of battery toys. "Favorite Links" will guide you to some of the best battery toy resources. Under "Club Forum" you will find our "Vintage Battery Toy Collectors Club" where we provide a venue for anyone interested in these toys to communicate with each other. Under "Toy Guides" you will find information about our newest publication "Vintage Battery Toy Collectors Guide", plus "Batteries Not Included", our in-depth vintage battery toy repair guide. There is also a link to tell you more "About Us" and, finally, a link to "Contact Us". Thank you for visiting our website. Y'all come back soon, y'hear!
