One of the interesting things about society is that things that adults are no longer interested in end up as '[childish'. Take nursery stories - many of these were not to entertain children, nor educate children, but to keep alive important ideas and concepts for everyone. If it were possible to give children the opportunity to design their own toys without adult influence they may look nothing we can imagine, but instead we feed them the things that interest us.
A lot of work went into producing these Models of Yesteryear - once they were toys of the imagination to me, but now they are a symbol of my interest that I can keep conveniently in a cabinet. I would love to drive a car like this but I probably never will. But the 'toy' still inspires me. As you can see by the fact that I have produced this image.
