Figure 1.-- The Prague boy here in 1931 has a wooden truck and some great play figures. I've never seen one quite like them. Put your cursor on the image for a closeup of the boy and his toys. We are not entirely sure the boy was Czech. His mother sent the card here to friends in Vienna and wrote ithe message on the card back in German.

Children from time imemoriable have enjoyed toys. A Czech boys being located next to Germany and part of the Austro-Hungrian Empire have had some great toys. We don't know of any specific Czech toys. Basically Czech children had the same toys as Austrian and German children. German until the NAZIs seized power were noted for some of the best children's toys. We don't have enough Czech imahes yet to describe the variety of toys children they played with. The Prague boy here in 1931 has a wooden truck and some great play figures (figure 1). I've never seen toys quite like them. A reader writes, "The toys are wonderful. Our children would enjoy playing with them for hours."
