Questions About Antique Wind Up Toys
- How does a wind-up toy work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How 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.
- What are wind-up toys called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Wind-up toys are sometimes called mechanical toys or clockwork toys.
