Questions About Retro Wind Up Toys
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    How a wind-up toy works relies on a part called a torsion spring. When you turn the knob or key, tension builds up on the torsion spring. When you stop winding, the accumulated energy sets an inner gear in motion that powers the movement of the toy. Find a collection of antique and vintage wind-up toys on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Wind-up toys are sometimes called mechanical toys or clockwork toys. The earliest examples date back to 15th-century Germany, where Karel Grod produced a number of mechanical toys. Shop a collection of antique vintage wind-up toys on 1stDibs.
