By the way, does someone knows which are the oldest dinosaur toys? I mean, Marx, Orsenigo and so on are old but is there something elder?
I would like to know this, too. Ain´t anyone out there knowing this? I mean, sbell perhaps? My oldest one is the Marolin Brontosaurus anyway.
Well according to the Dinosaur Collectors site the oldest Dinosaur toys were made by Messemore & Damon, for the 1933 World's fair in Chicago and the 1939 Worlds Fair in New York. However they were made out of a material that by now has disintegrated. I have two Og Premium Cavemen from the 1935 Og Son Of Fire radio show which are in near perfect condition plus a book inspired by the show. Also apparently the Twistum Toy Co. (1922-1932) out of Oakland, California made an "Old Timer" wood sauropod which is now selling on E-Bay.
