FAO Schwarz was established in 1862 in New York and is one of the oldest toy stores in the world, in a spirit similar to that of the UK’s Hamleys.
FAO Schwarz (FAO = Frederick August Otto) offers children and parents a choice of quality and long-lasting toys, games, hobbies, books and crafts. The company continues to operate to date.
Thanks to a very kind donation by our friend Anna (thank you Anna), TVTA is pleased to acquire a number of vintage FAO Schwarz catalogues spanning the 1960s to early 1980s.
Today we present selected scans from the 1981/82 fall/winter catalogue.
Enjoy the toy goodness!

Hi again, I loved the Bigtrack truck especially with the trailer. I remember programming it to do reverse J-turns which looked cool. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Thanks FT. I still have a BigTrak, but not with the trailer. Surprising how noisy it is once programmed. A very cool-looking toy too.
