Althof Bergmann, an antiquated brand celebrated for its distinctive and meticulously crafted miniature mechanical toys. Navigating between the realms of nostalgia and curiosity, Althof Bergmann revels in the magic of the past, their collectibles often hailing from a time where new inventions were leaving footprints on the world. Specializing in clockwork-driven objects, their noted creations include animals chariots and animal-drawn vehicles - each unit embodies an otherworldly charm that resonates continually in the hearts of vintage toy lovers.

In 1856, a creative spark ignited in the city of New York, birthing Althof Bergmann. The beloved brand was conceptualised and brought to life by two men - William Althof and Christian Bergmann. They pioneered a collection of novelties that were artistic and simultaneously paid homage to their European roots. Over time, Althof Bergmann became a paragon in the vernacular of vintage toys. However, their journey was not infinite; in 1877, the toy factory was closed, but not forgotten. An interesting fact - during the Civil War, the duo momentarily paused toy production to manufacture percussion caps, contributing to the war effort in their own unique way. Intriguing, isn't it?
