Tonka Toys LookBook or Look Book Reference Pages
Tonka Toys Look Books were produced
almost all years that Tonka Toys were produced. Their style, size and
production numbers changed year by year. These samll catalogs provied a
wish list for Birthdays and Christmas's to come. They have become handy
reference tools for Tonka Toy Collectors today. I have built this handy
reference page that links to the detailed pages of the Look Book for
each year they link to. I will be adding direct links from the pages of
the look books to my examples of each toy. I hope you find
these pages useful, and If I can imrove these pages, please let me know. |
