Every toy has a story.
Preserve yours forever.
The boy on the floor with his toy tractor is sixty now. The tractor sits in a glass case — paint worn where his small hands gripped it, a story in every scratch. Don't let that story disappear.
If you collect it, you should track it. A solid list means you know what you have — for insurance, for sharing with friends, and for the day the collection passes on.
No credit card required · $9/month after trial
Your collection is secure — only you can view it, unless you decide to share one item or your whole collection with a friend.
EASY TO USE!
This was designed by a collector for collectors with simplicity and flexibility in mind.
Why we collect
We don't collect metal, plastic and paint.
A 1956 Christmas gift — a Reuhl Massey 44 taken apart and reassembled countless times — is now a cherished heirloom to the man who received it that Christmas morning. A 1965 Ertl John Deere 4020, mint in its original box. It's the weight of a small child's hand wrapped around something built to last. These aren't toys anymore — they're the artifacts of a life lived close to the land, and they deserve to be remembered.
"Someday, someone will hold this toy and wonder who loved it first. Make sure they can find out."
Three reasons we never stop
The pull of the past
Connection
Every toy is a bridge — to a mother who carefully wrapped the Christmas gift and tucked it beneath the tree, to a child that saved every bit of allowance for months to buy it, to a grandfather who farmed with the real version of this tractor. Collecting is how we hold onto people we've lost, and hand them forward to people we haven't met yet.
Preservation
Toys were meant to be played with, not preserved. That some survived — in a barn, a basement, an attic, a sandbox — is a small miracle. When you catalog one, you're not just recording what you own. You're standing guard over a piece of manufacturing history that will never be made again.
Legacy
Every piece you catalog carries a story forward. The tractor your grandfather bought at the implement dealer in 1972, the toy your mother saved for months to give you on your birthday — those stories travel with the toys to the next generation. When you record who owned it, where it came from, what it meant, you're not just making a list. You're writing a letter to whoever holds it next.
