FAO Schwarz is celebrating their 150th anniversary with a tribute to some of the most popular toys of all time.
“Now celebrating its 150th Anniversary, FAO Schwarz is marking this rare milestone in the world of retail by unveiling a special gallery featuring prototype, original and early editions of some of the best-known toys in the world, alongside some nostalgic items from the FAO Schwarz archives. Displayed prominently throughout the famed flagship store in New York City, “A Gallery of Historic Toys,” will be on display now through April 10. ”
Some iconic Kenner toys that made the cut are the Easy-Bake Oven and the Play-Doh Fuzzy Pumper Barber & Beauty Shop. I would love to see if they have any early Kenner prototypes or samples on display. If anyone can stop in and take some pictures, we would love to post them!
