I am French, and i discovered tin toys made in China for the first time in 1984 when i was spending time in Mauritius Island. I was immediately fascinated by these toys. The cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles were especially magical.
I understood that all of them were classified in an specific way,and i learned about the naming system, and the history of the manufacturing.
Forty years later, I created the website I dreamed of: TinToysOfChina.com. The site is free, non-commercial and without advertising.
It is intended for passionates and collectors.
Obviously this catalog cannot be exhaustive.
I am looking foward to your comments and suggestions to add more items, and grow the list with your findings and pictures as well.
