Barker for Christmas?
I think I've disabled the toy-making forum, so mods, feel free to move this thread.
I thought some of the toy makers may find this c.1950 toy barker interesting..
I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
Regards, Woodwould.

Another interesting piece of history WW.
Does it wag its tail as it is pulled along? I imagine that design could be modified successfully so you could have a yapping mouth and a wagging tail.

I love it Woody.
It might give the kids an idea what the real world is like,with the ears and tail.Back To Car Building & All The Sawdust.

I wonder how it survived so long.
Reality is no background music.

Love the simplicity..... I know it's a bit dangerous... does it mean kids back then were smarter then kids now? They survived all their dangerous toys?
Also... as much fun as animated toys with their wiggly parts are.... aside from braking easier... they also take imagination away from kids. The more simple and generic a toy is, specially when it comes to people and animals, the bigger the play value because kids can then imagine it to be or do all sorts of things. For example... a doll with a big huge smile would be hard to press into service for something sad happening. A simple dog could in a pinch also serve as a horse, cow or anything else..
