    I thought I'd round up some of my Victorian toys. The picture of the marble is a German marble from 1800s I do have more including onion skin marbles. There are also some very old spindles as well. I thought the old spindles look good together with the old toys.

    If anybody wants to share some pictures of there Victorian toys please feel free :)

    Use the Macro feature on your camera.

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    And if you don't have a macro feature, make sure there is a minimum of four inches between the object and the lens.

    Really nice collection. If you ever have too many of the Victorian toys and would like to donate some of the to a museum, remember the Richards-DAR House Museum, Mobile, Alabama. You can find them on line.
