Our Mission

The ANTIQUE TOY COLLECTORS OF AMERICA exists to preserve the history of toys, to educate its membership and the public as to the history and preservation of toys, and to share fellowship and friendship through the common bond of owning toys and sharing information about toys.

Our History

The Antique Toy Collectors of America (ATCA) is a non-profit 501(c))(3) organization founded in 1965. Its original members were from the United States but it now has members from other countries. The ATCA members collect antique toys representing a wide variety of interests and tastes, for example, early tin, wood, paper, and cast iron. We welcome inquiries from anyone about membership.

Our Policy

The ATCA does not purchase toys, appraise toys, or give valuations for toys. Nor does the ATCA offer information or advice on the purchasing or selling of toys or toy collections.
