The ado stand at the hygiene and food exhibition in Deventer, 1925

The ado toys catalog

Our goal is to present a full-color digital exhibit with all ado toys.

By now, 209 ado items have been photographed,
which are organized into two time periods: from the opening of the workshop in the 1920s to the significant shift in product range and product numbers around 1950, and from that point until the closure of the sanatorium.

1922 – 1950

More than 250 models in countless colour variations, that was the ado range in this period: from tiny doll house furniture pieces and streamlined cars to brightly coloured box sets.

1951 – 1962

From around 1950, the collection underwent a complete transformation. Around 150 new models were introduced, often in just one colour combination, and sometimes even without any colour at all. Doll house furniture almost completely disappeared from the product range.
