It all depends on how many of them were made. The less of them that were produced, the more they're worth.

I was a farmer during the Depression and didn't have many toys-and I missed that. We decided to collect toys because it's a lot larger hobby and the items hold their value so much better than other things.

It's been very much a team effort. I'm very happy she was involved because it made it a lot more fun when we'd go to shows and sales.

I can pretty much look at most of my toys and tell you what it's worth and what story goes along with it. But I did buy a toy in Missouri a while back and got home and found out I already had it-but I'm 79 years old, too.

This county is just loaded with collectors. But I can't give you any names because the toys are worth so much, others don't want people to know they collect.

That really makes them worth a lot more. If it's a new piece, the box won't add much value. But if it's an old piece, it really increases the value.
