When I read the history of Tynietoy from a reprinted catalog from 1930 it really impressed me that two women were able to accomplish so much almost 100 years ...ago!
It is my joy to share this story and these special Tynietoy items with you.
From the 1930's Tynietoy Catalog:
"Over ten years ago two women, both lovers of antique Colonial Furniture, saw an opportunity to popularize its beauty by making artistically perfect, made-to-scale doll's furniture. Equipped with a child's circular saw, they opened a tiny shop in the tiniest State in the Union.
Today (note this was written in 1930) there are fifty expert craftsmen making TYNIETOYS under their direction. Their authentic reproductions of Hepplewhite, Sheraton, Chippendale and other early American-designed furniture have spread their fame far beyond New England. Every piece will stand the criticism of the connoisseur and all have the endorsement of the leading Arts and Crafts Societies of the country.
TYNIETOYS are the ORIGINAL miniature antique furniture, appealing to grown-ups as well as to children. Their design, construction and finish are the result of intensive research backed by the best authorities. The scale --one inch to the foot-- is a practical one for use in the average dollhouse.
When Dolly's tired from hours of playShe needs to rest the "comfy" way.Her bed and chairs should be her sizeAnd other furniture likewise.So, if you'd like to please her wellGive her a house in which to dwell, Made just a size a doll enjoys, Equipped throughout with "Tynietoys".
