Balance Toys by Authentic Models at Collecto-Mania

AUTHENTIC MODELS BALANCING TOYS

Balancing toys were popular in the 19th century.
Dating back to ancient China and India, where they were most often carved from soft wood, the western balancing toys were traditionally made from tin or metal.
Illustrations of balancing toys can be found in educational literature from the 18th century.
The physics governing the movement of such toys intrigued and amazed people.

Our balance toys are crafted by skilled tinsmiths,
hand cut, shaped on intricate molds with recycled materials,
using skills which were believed to be lost.
The word 'Tole' refers to painted tin, characterized by the richness of paint and texture.
Each Balance Toy comes with a numbered tag confirming that they are made in limited numbers.
