Owning a collection of thousands of "metal tycoon"
Small steamer
Entering the study of Fengyuan, you can see that it is already a world of tin toys. Standing in the middle of various tin toys, there is an unreal feeling. It seems that I have returned to my childhood, but there is also a kind of jealousy. When I was a child, I used so many toys at home, as if I was selling it at the time. There are not too many toy varieties. These collections of Fengyuan, which are displayed in front of our eyes, are played by myself when I was young. I feel very cordial, and most of them are not seen when I was young. This can be opened and I want to see which ones I want to play with. Playing, but after all, it’s something that was decades ago, and I’m afraid it’s broken. “It’s okay, most of them can still play, and they can move on the clockwork.†According to him, there are still many stored in boxes. The total number adds together "how can I have more than a thousand?"
According to Feng Yuan, among the few tin toys, except for a few of them are his childhood toys, most of them are carefully collected from his nearly ten years, from Shenyang’s Shenyang Road to Beijing’s Panjiayuan, and surrounding areas. In a few cities, as long as there is a place in the flea market, he can always see his "Taobao" figure.
Mottled iron mottled history
With the increase of the collection, Fengyuan also began to become an industry expert, began to study the history and evolution of the tin toy. Feng Yuan said that in fact, the domestic tin toy manufacturing industry began in Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s. In the early 1920s, Shanghai had a very famous factory called Kangyuan Can Factory, which produced the tin biscuit box that was very fashionable at the time. Later, the factory opened up the second industry to produce the clock with the clockwork. Movement. At that time, there was a very skilled craftsman in the factory. Using a clockwork and canning tinplate trim, he made a tin frog that was very fresh at the time for his grandson. This is the iron frog that opened the Chinese tin toy. manufacturing. Later, the leader of the Kangyuan Can Factory, and the master craftsman, developed the Tin Jumping and the Iron Jumping Chicken, together with the Iron Frog, which became the famous “Three Jumps†and has been produced for decades.
This thing was once popular in Tianjin decades ago. Drain the oil into the inside, cover it with a small lid after the drop, then take a fire and flash it in the water, it can be opened on its own, and it will emit black smoke inside the chimney. It is entirely handmade and is a very special metal toy.

In the hands of Feng Yuan, the "Little Duck Transporter" was held. This toy was probably sold to the United Kingdom around 1960. A friend of Fengyuan found on the Internet that a British seller had more than 20 pieces of Chinese tin toys, which were all backlogged after being sold to the UK, so they were very well preserved. Finally, the original was bought back, it is said that the price Not cheap. In the eyes of foreigners, this is actually a very interesting craft.
