<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 66715, member: 55&quot;]Regarding toys, and cast-iron in particular, a great many old toys are bought by people who remember they &quot;had one when they were a child.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; So, over the years, the market shifts.&nbsp;&nbsp; A few years ago cast-iron toys were selling quite well...say $400 for a nice little toy airplane.&nbsp;&nbsp; But the folks who played with those as kids, late 1800s, early 1900s, are nearly all gone now.&nbsp;&nbsp; Nobody is buying those cast-iron toys at the shows I&#039;ve been to, you pretty much can&#039;t give them away.</p><p>But Japanese tin toys, 1960s, are selling like hotcakes, because the people who played with them as kids are buying now.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; An entirely different dynamic than with the home-decorating type of antique.&nbsp; JMHO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
