The use of toys can be traced far back into ancient history. The remains of the ancient Greek civilisation, for one, have yielded examples of fairly advanced toys. As society has developed, so has toy-making, and technological advancements in the industry have shaped modern toys’ designs. During the first half of the 20th century, toy-manufacturing was dominated by Germany and Japan. Models made from sheet metal soared in popularity during this era. Next came the use of plastics, and a growing number of toys with electronic functions.
The most popular items auctioned in this category today are Barbie dolls, Steiff teddy bears, Star Wars-related items, Donald Duck comic books, trading cards, Märklin model trains, rocking horses and pedal cars.
