American Flyer
Description
American Flyer, an iconic toy brand renowned for embodying the very essence of vintage Americana! Specializing in the intricate world of model trains and railway sets, American Flyer is synonymous with quality craftsmanship, realistic designs, and a palpable nostalgia that transports collectors back to a time when the thunderous sound of the locomotive was king. Not merely toys, these miniature specimens are symbols of America's relentless pursuit of progress, expansion, and innovation!
Albert Carlton Gilbert birthed the magic of American Flyer in 1907 in a small town nestled in the heart of Connecticut. From its wooden train sets, American Flyer would steam ahead to becoming the leading manufacturer of competitively-priced S gauge trains, edging out competition and carving its name into the annals of toy history. During World War II, when metal was scarce, the company's production briefly took a detour to manufacture items for the war effort, reinforcing its patriotic essence. In the late 196s, American Flyer was taken over by Lionel, a toy train goodness still active today, and continues to awe collectors with its mastery of making exquisite miniature marvels.
