Buying Farm Toys and Other Vintage Products

　　According to the experts, the term vintage refers to any item that is at least 20-30 years old. So many people are surprised that the toys they played with in their childhood, especially, old vintage farm tractors with those tiny working vintage manure spreaders may be worth a tidy sum of money.

　　Collecting vintage farm toys can be a wonderful hobby, especially for those who have fond memories of growing up carefree and wild in the rural countryside. In the US, families were known by the farming equipment they used, John Deere Green, Ford Blues, IHC and Massey Ferguson Reds.

　　And so farm toy collectors often follow along with their family traditions. Many collectors stay more or less with the type of manufactures of manure spreaders and machinery that grew up on. So depending on the individual a missing vintage toy from a specific brand or era could fetch an unusually high price at auctions.

　　So the first step in developing a sellable collection is to concentrate on a particular farm machinery maker. And the best way to do that is by collecting vintage farm toys that you personally like.
