| Publisher Description: The Hubley Manufacturing Company was incorporated in 1894 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and produced wonderful toys throughout its history. Early Hubley production consisted of numerous cast iron toys including various horse drawn vehicles, guns, household appliances, and more. With the automotive age, cars, trucks, and other transportation became their focus. This book details production from 1946 to 1965, when the company was purchased by Gabriel Industries. Information from a complete set of Hubley catalogs and over 500 beautiful color photographs of actual toys make this the most comprehensive treatment of Hubley toys. Charts record every vehicle offered with its variations, and a current price guide makes this a most valuable resource for the collector. |
