Barclay Toys Transports & Cars 1932-1971 Review, Nov 17 2004
By Rick Leeman "novar1132" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Barclay Toys: Transports & Cars 1932-1971 (Paperback)
I believe that this book will be the one people will turn to to get valuable info. on the Barclay Transports & Cars. It must have taken the authors years to compile all the information in this book . If you collect Barclay's then this is a must have book .The book starts you off with a brief history of the Barclay Manufacturing Co. and as the book progreses through the pages it gives up more and more detail of every known Transport and Car . The book is very well layed out with it's easy to understand no. system . For easy reference it has lots of color pictures to refer to .
Thank goodiness we have people who are wiling to do the work involved to compile such a book and get it to this high level .
If you don't have this book then you are at a disadvantage .
Loved It !!!

Barclay Toys : Small Transports , 1932 - 1971, Oct 19 2004
By Douglas W. Ehrenhaft - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Barclay Toys: Transports & Cars 1932-1971 (Paperback)
I found this book highly detailed and very very informative. The authors not only did an excellent job of clearly explaining the differences between the 4 basic styles but showed all the many many colors , shades and tints .I especially liked and found interesting, all the little notes and stories of the background of how and why some of these changes came about. The high quality paper and clear photos make the pictures jump out at you right off the page. The photo effectiveness really shines thru, when it came to showing all the various tints and shades of the same color.The pictures were not only close and clear but very vivid. I especially liked the authors simple, straight forward and very effective way that they cataloged these various changes. This easy, open ended system, allows more additions to be included later when they are found. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. Kudos to the authors, for taking, what had to be a huge amount of man hours to bring this much needed book to the next level . I predict this will be the Barclay " bible " for identifying the small Transports.Dsmechanic

This review is from: Barclay Toys: Transports & Cars 1932-1971 (Paperback)
As a child growing up in the 50s I had a lot of these colorful little cars that my Mom bought in Woolworths out of a bin in the toy department. I loved their colors and the enjoyment of having these small but affordable toys to play with. Unfortunately they also got smashed, broke or eventually tossed to the town dump. I did find a few many years later that were left outside in the yard as a child and appeared after turning over a flower bed and even in the roots of a dug up bush/ I had no idea who made them nor their history, Needless to say over the past decade or two I have been buying them back on the internet or at flea markets. The book was great because it was not only very colorful and enjoyable with very easy to read print but very informative. For example , there are differences in the cars had no idea existed and actually after reading it I took my cars out and was able to discover these neat little things like parking lights, open wheel wells and blank grills etc. The book also has the cars in very rare and hard to find color schemes. Most importantly it gives values of these toys that will be helpful to my family when I finally depart this life.This book is the Bible so to speak on these well loved but very little documented toys. If you have these little mass produced "baby cars" you must have this book!
