Timeless Toys
Robots
Special | 1m 21s
Toy robots from the 1940s and 50s are highly sought after by collectors.
While mechanical automata had existed since ancient Greece, the first mass-produced mechanical toy robots were built in Japan following World War II. These early wind-up robots, typically made from tin and wonderfully detailed, delighted young children around the world.
