Widely considered to be the ultimate assemblage of antique and vintage toys in private hands today, the Donald Kaufman collection has fueled the fantasies of many a collector over the past five decades.

You’re just like me. I my self collect vintage toys for some time now. I’ve been offer money for most of my collection But I can’t see my self letting them go. I now one day I’ll have to face the choice you are facing. You have done well keeping these beautiful toys alive and well and I hope they end up in the hands of others who have the same passion you and I have. God Bless You My friend., Joey
Why not make a museum and keep them. I’d go every day.
amazing, pity we dont live long enough to enjoy them.
Thats why I dont collect.
A fantastic collection. I can see you have taken care of them. One small piece of advice when touching these models you should wear gloves because of the acid we release from our hands in the sweat. There is a lot of money in your collection, maybe your grandson(s) might take an interest in the collection, or maybe give a few to a toy museum with the condition that your name is always displayed., whatever you decide this is worth a lot, so be careful how you sell.
man can i please have 1 ok maybe 3 wait nevermind how bout just 5?? can we make a deal ?! lol
Thats NO small fortune there!
Fantastic collection ,im also a dinky (foden ) ,and lesney matchbox collector.How much could reach a big collection such this??
What a tragedy!!! don’t sell them they need to be in a meuseum. For all generations to enjoy, if you have financial concerns then allow the museum help you out but this would be a great thing to put a small town on the map and generate revenue from either donations or ticket sales from visitors.
Vinatge toys are a whole different ball game, i have a video of an x men toy collection.
awsome!
This is better then disney world!!!!

tiene ud. una coleccion preciosa!!! .. me llamo jose antonio, soy de Peru, tengo 24 años , siempre me gustaron los juguetes y desde hace un año atras eh empezado a coleccionar juguetes … algun dia mi coleccion sera como la de ud. !!!!
A wonderfull collection! Did Mr. Kauffman sell all the toys or did he keep a few for himself? Thank you so much.
Definitely an amazing legacy. his family was behind the creation of KB Toys from a confectioner’s store into the wholesale toy business
Mi admiracion a este gran coleccionista
Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. Warms my heart.
