There are about 3,000 toys in a collection housed in the Winifred Museum http://russell.visitmt.com/communities/Winifred.htm . It may be the largest Tonka toy collection in the world, said Jim Arthur, Winifred historian and museum curator.
Arthur said no one is sure – including the Tonka Toy Co. – whether there is a larger Tonka toy collection, but this one is impressive. He said it fills 2,200 linear feet of shelving.
Unless you’re a toy collector – or a kid – you might not have heard of Tonka toys. Probably the best known Tonka toy is a large yellow metal dump truck and this collection has a good selection of those.
