Inventory of Francis Facciolo "Classic Toys" Collection of Toy Store Catalogs and Price Lists
This list is a preliminary finding tool for a collection of folders received by the Russel B. Nye Popular Culture Collection in the years 2001 and 2002.
Donor's description: CWW Toys, Inc. operated a retail store in New York City from 1988 to
2000. The store, which was called Classic Toys, was first located in
Soho and then moved to Greenwich Village. It specialized in collectible
toys, in particular toy soldiers and toy and model vehicles. Classic
Toys sold both new and antique toys, and the catalogues and price
lists that are in the Russel B. Nye Popular Culture Collection thus represent both
new and antique toys. Classic Toys directly imported many of the
toys it sold. The typical Classic Toys' customer was an adult male,
often a collector. The catalogues and price lists include most of the
large and specialist manufacturers of toy soldiers and vehicles in the
1990s.
