Hello and welcome! We Elves at Historical Folk Toys thank you for stopping by -- especially if you are a return visitor!

Our Web site serves two primary roles: first, to service and support our customers; and, secondly, to introduce others to our historical folk toys, books, crafts, games and music.

Over the years, customers have asked us which of our products would be appropriate for their museum store's (or historic site's) time period(s). We are pleased to announce the completion of our Products by Periods Guide. We Elves hope this tool will answer all your questions. As a byproduct to doing this research, we have also developed Origins of Our Products. This guide is intended for those curious customers who wish to know: "Just how far back can your products' 'roots' be traced?"

Again, thanks for stopping by! -- Julie, Head Elf

To prospective customers: If you buy for a retail store and would like to receive our catalog, please fill out our Catalog Request Form. We will contact you if we have any questions and thank you for your interest! You can also call us at 1-800-871-1984 (1-812-988-0079 if you are dialing locally or from outside the U.S.).

In addition to our growing attention to green business practices, the current economic times have urged us to delay the printing of our 2009 catalog and instead produce a flyer introducing our new products. We feel that using the remaining 2008 printed catalog in conjunction with a current price sheet and our new products flyer will still allow you to review our products at your leisure while saving natural resources. Of course, all of our items are displayed on our Web site for your convenience. If you would like a printed copy of the 2008 catalog, please contact our office.

Historical Folk Toys recently exhibited at the 54th MSA Retail Conference and Expo May 3-4, 2009, in Phoenix, Arizona. Thanks to everyone who attended the MSA Expo this year. We are always glad to see our customers as well as meet potential ones. We appreciate your comments and especially that you enjoy seeing our product line displayed in one place. MSA's wine and cheese reception at the Phoenix Art Museum was a pleasure to attend.

In June, Historical Folk Toys will exhibit at the Association for Living History Farms and Agricultural Museums' 2009 annual conference. This year ALHFAM's conference will be at Old Salem Museum and Gardens in Winston-Salem, North Carolina during June 6-9. Be sure to come by our booth and say "hi."
