Product Information
Relive your childhood memories with this spectacular tome of Tonka history. On the shores of Lake Minnetonka in Minneapolis, three men created Mound Metalcraft in an old schoolhouse in the late 1940s and set out to make tie racks and garden utensils. Sales weren't as abundant as expected, so the group decided to produce sturdy construction toys crafted from the leftover materials. Tonka - named after the nearby lake - was born and the company changed the face of the toy industry forever.Tonka takes you through the early days of the company, to its purchase by Hasbro in 1991. Through the years, there were many ups and downs, but a few things remained constant: the rugged quality, realism, and durability of the toys. The employees were an integral part of the company, and profiles of a handful of former employees help bring a personal level to the story of the company that drove its way to the top of the toy truck industry. Each epoch of Tonka history is covered and accompanied by 150 color and 25 archival images.The Tonka story itself is one of an incredible journey. From the humble confines of a small schoolhouse, to a giant corporation that sold toys everywhere, Tonka remains a household word for strength and durability and is synonymous with toys that could withstand anything a child could do with them.br>Author bio:Dennis David is an automobile journalist and writes for many antique car enthusiast magazines. He collects antique automobiles, is a member of the Society of Automotive Historians, is the technical editor for the National DeSoto Club, and is an automobile appraiser. This is his third book.

- y***r (1860)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadafast and efficient service - ordered Sunday, delivered Wednesday morning! - good, honest description - in fact, the book was even better than the description - well packed with card envelope inside padded envelope. Couldn't be better. I'd definitely buy from this trader again.
- 6***u (445)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaItems as described. Item took time to arrive, but this was not the fault of the seller, as it was down to Royal Mail (Receipt of postage provided as proof). When I queried the item had not arrived, the correspondence was excellent and the item did arrive. A+ Seller
- k***1 (125)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaReceived in a well protected card backed envelope which was then placed inside a A4 jiffy envelope. The magazine arrived in mint condition along with 2 other magazines. All 3 magazines are well worth the money.
