Find Your Own Toy

Here, you can explore over twenty original ado catalogs, price lists, brochures, and flyers. Ko Verzuu assigned a number to each model, which is fantastic because it serves as the guiding framework for our project. Around 1950, this numbering system was changed. That’s why the catalogs on this page are divided into two time periods. Since the earliest ado models appeared in the listings of the Metz & Co department store, these are also included here.

An asterisk (*) indicates materials other than catalogs, such as price lists, brochures, flyers, or supplement catalogs. Documents marked with ¹ were scanned by Herman uit de Bosch, and those marked with ² by the CODA Museum in Apeldoorn.
