Wartime Propaganda Toys

Patricia's and Toto's site hosted some amazing WWI and WWII propaganda toys that I have restored. They are in the moderation que right now and should be approved within the next few days.

I did the absolute minimum amount of work to get these vintage pieces as close to their original states as possible. Unlike some of the other toys I restore, there are no added graphics or additional coloring.

These are amazing time capsules and I hope you have fun building/displaying them.

Wow, way cool!!!

Have you seen the gliders that they used to use in the military for ground gunner training? They used a wire and let them slide down it to teach how to lead a flying target. I saw the website once, but haven't been able to find it since.

That is new to me. I know there were targets on towed vehicles and towed aerial targets, but the wire thing is new to me!

Cool! I like the city scene with the air ships.
