Tearing Up The Wind Ups

A wide range of customers enjoy the Schylling old-fashioned tin wind-ups at My Favorite Toys and www.MyFavToys.com. But we can't remember the last time someone bought several of them to take apart.

That was the plan of a young woman this afternoon, a metals work major at Southern Illinois University - Carbondale. She's planning an exhibit on tin wind-up toys, so she decided she needed to know how some of the classics --- such as the Schylling Duck On The Bike--- work.

We'll look forward to her exhibit and will pass along the dates for blog readers within driving distance of SIU and our brick-and-mortar store at University Mall in Carbondale, IL.
