Dear Loyal Collector,

In 2006 Baldwin Toys is celebrating its 30th anniversary! I want to thank you for the wonderful support you have given us over the years. It all started in 1976 with the Rumbleseat model which is still our best selling car.

We started selling toys on a card table at the Omaha Summer Arts Festival. After more than 500 shows and over a million miles we now do shows in every part of the country and in all types of venues. We've received countless ribbons and awards for our artwork from these shows. Our toys can also be found in most of the top galleries across the nation. They continue to be featured in the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas concerts, much to our delight! We've been featured in several national publications including Sunshine Artists, Wood Magazine and Crafts Report.

You have provided us with many unique memories from requests for custom carvings to welcoming me into your homes to hand deliver your toys. One gentleman in Fargo , North Dakota , liked the toys so much that he bought our whole show display. Yes! The entire display, EVERYTHING! They still talk about it on the show circuit … a true urban legend.

Take a moment to tour our website as it would be a good time to add to your collection or to start one for a friend or family member. Discover how trees become our toys on From Tree to Car and the process of a custom carving on For the Art of It. You can also find if we will be doing a show in your area on the In Person page.

Making wooden “toys” for you is still a labor of love and I hope to be doing it until I drop! Thank you for 30 great years! If you have any questions just give me a call or send me an email.

Thanks,

Steve Baldwin
