VINTAGE Rubber FARM ANIMALS “Creative Playthings”
for a charming tabletop display-perhaps among plants, mini hay bales or??
They are hollow, heavier than you’d think since made of rubber and hollow…
Simple and beautifully designed toys were originally created by Frank & Teresa Caplan of NYC in 1945…possibly in or around 1954 they collaborated with a Swiss toymaker, Antonio Vitali and made “play forms”-
smooth sculptured animals that would fit into kids’ hands
….
These animals are now marked "Creative Playthings," likely from the 60’s era or so. Animals include 7 “horse and colt, Cow, 5 ½”steer and calf, pig, sheep.
CONDITION:
LOTS of missing paint most esp. on the cow, steer and black marks or marker on horse and elsewhere. Also potential flattening of figures from air loss? At first horse, would not stand, then when I widened its stance, it did. Two of the animals would not stand after I brought them home-then later they mostly recovered. Something to do with air pressure, their age, heavy weight for the hollow legs, age or ?? SO be aware they/some of them may lose some of their firmness-I will pack them loosely so they do not get compressed.
Please DO view all pics in close-up for more information about condition and details.
