Tin toys have a long history, dating back to the 1830s and 1850s, and were a popular choice for children's toys until the 1950s and 1960s:

 

Origins

The Industrial Revolution made tin toys possible, and they were first produced in the United States in the early 1830s. Spring-activated tin toys originated in Germany in the 1850s.

 

Production

Germany was a major producer of tin toys, with notable companies including Bing, Fleischman, Lehmann, Gunthermann, and Marklin.

 

Popularity

The years from 1865 to 1895 are known as the "Golden Age of American Tin Toys".

 

Name

Penny toys were a popular name for tin toys in the United Kingdom, where they were sold for one penny.

 

Design

Tin toys were often miniatures, with painted surfaces that included excellent detail.

 

Types

Tin toys included mechanical scenes, dolls, furniture, cars, trains, planes, boats, and animals.

 

Decline

Tin toys lost popularity in the 1950s and 1960s as plastic became cheaper and safer.

 

Collection

Tin toys are highly collectible and can be found in museums around the world

Great item, was a glass jar with contents, well packaged, with a fragile label attached, arrived no problems. A near perfect example of a 50s/60s Hopkin and Williams chemical bottle. The postage was fair, the item was as described and a good value, especially with contents.
