This is the first comprehensive catalog and price guide covering all
four ranges of miniature toy vehicles produced by Barclay Manufacturing
Company, Inc. (New Jersey) from 1932 to 1971. It covers nearly 2,000
variations of these toys along with a history of the company, the
manufacturing process, detailed identification grids and explanations,
rarity notations, pricing ranges, a biography, and over 650 color
photos. Barclay began producing miniature transports and trains in the
early 1930s and added trucks and cars in the 1950s. All four ranges were
produced until the company closed in 1971. The toys were colorful,
well-designed, inexpensive, and popular throughout the period they were
produced. The appendix includes pictures of related toys. Since most of
these toys do not identify the manufacturer and many variations are
rare, the book is indispensable for anyone interested in collectable
toys.
