Please
note that the items displayed on
my gallery pages are not for sale.
My intent is simply to share my
collections of children's playtime
kitchen items with you.
I
still have plenty of kitchen sets
for sale on my Vintage Toy Kitchen
site and
you can view those by clicking on
the link above.
|
|
|
| I've
tried to organize my vintage
kitchen toy collectibles
neatly into categories for
the most part. This page
is devoted to my Toy Utensils. Click
on the small images to view
the full size photos. |
|
Also,
I've never seen the tin
pans or the the little
biscuit cutter. And,
of course the wonderful
little glass measuring
cup (that a beater top
fits on) and the sifter. It's
all just FANTASTIC.
I
FINALLY found a boxed set
of the A&J RED Handled
Utensils and have posted
a new picture. I
also got an AWESOME Dolly
Ann boxed set!

Set
No. 1 - The color of the
box is like the light blue
and there are rhymes on
the outside (on the sides)
of the box. This
box is a bit smaller than
the Set No. 1 (below) with
the blue tip handles and
the rhymes are different.
The
insert for the utensils
is also different with
a sectioned divider for
each piece. The
original utensils are the
spatula, the egg beater,
the meat fork and the slotted
spoon. Thanks to
Rhonda for this information!

Set
No. 2 in
the Original Box
VERY
NICE! This
is the light blue box with
the rhymes on the outside.
It differs
from the set above as to size
(a little bigger) and this
has the more commonly seen
strings held by staples to
hold in the utensils.
|
|
|
Set
No. 3
Very
nice set that I purchased
on eBay. White
handled in a GREEN box (first
green box I've seen). This
set has an odd spatula / cake
lifter. It has a plastic
coated wire type of handle,
not a wood handle like the
other sets have. CLICK HERE to view.
|
|
|
Set
No. 4
This
set is a nice Blu-tip set
with wonderful Weller pieces! The
little mixing bowl is marked
Weller, but the beater
jar is not. The beater
top and the little cutter
did not come in this set
-- I added these for display. This
set is also the light
blue with rhymes around
the outside.
|
|
|
Set No. 5
A
cute set that includes the
Weller Beater bowl with a beater
and a spoon.
Light blue box with little rhymes
on the side.
|
|
|
Set
No. 6
Cute
set with an all metal beater
(no wood handle) and brown
crock bowl - unmarked.
This
is also the light blue
box with rhymes.
|
|
|
This
set is yellow handled and
came with all the pieces
you see. I
have more pieces with yellow
handles, but I believe these
were probably original.
This
box is like the first three
-- except it is red. It
also has the rhymes. The
end of the box is marked Set
No. ___ but no actual number is indicated.

This
is such a nice large utensil
set. It has almost everything
in it you could possibly want! This
was my first A&J set that
I purchased. It has a glass
beater bowl with it. You
may notice the little A&J dishtowel with it -- someone
made that and I just thought
it looked so cute with this set!
Thank
You Jayme! This
set is not numbered and the box
has different graphics than the
first ones. Also - the
little rhymes are on the inside
of the lid!
|
|
|
 FINALLY! I
found one of the boxed sets
with the red handles. The red
handled utensils are hard enough
to find and to find one in
the original box was great!
This set
has the colorful graphics like
the one above and the green
handled one. This set isn't
numbered either.
|
|
|
This
is a a nice green handled set. Again,
no number to the set and the
same box graphics as the previous
one.
I
will "assume" that the ones
in the NON-numbered boxes and
these box graphics came a little
later than the first four sets
listed. Also, the rhymes
are on the inside of the box
lid.
|
|
|
The
last "set" is just a blue-tip beater
top in the original box! VERY
cute !! I've also got some
very cute child's A&J Mother's
Little Helper aprons that someone
made that are adorable! Thanks
Jayme -- I'll post a picture soon! |
|
|
This
is an ANN DROCK set of utensils. The
handles are green and not the
heavy enamel paint like the A&J
sets. I'm not sure who
made these. You would assume "Androck",
but it isn't marked on the box. The
graphics are so cute on the box
with "utensil people" on the
corners. |
|
|
This
is a DOLLY ANN utensil set. Soooooo cute with
the little painted faces. As
you can see, this is a red & yellow
set.
I
also have some of the smiley
face utensils that are green & yellow. CLICK HERE to see them! This
set was made by Androck. The
rolling pin didn't come with
this set, I just added it for
display.
|
|
|
This
is a fantastic large boxed
set of the Dolly Ann utensils. These
have the green handles with
the yellow painted Dolly Ann
face.
This
set has an adorable little
yellow ware bowl in it and
TWO strainers. A
big one and a small one. This
is the first big strainer that
I've seen. CLICK HERE for a close-up.
|
|
|
These
are the very few red A&J
utensils I have: One little
beater, a rolling pin and a masher. I
also have two "odd" red handled
utensils that "look" like A&J
with the metal at the handle
base. CLICK
HERE to view these.
I
have no idea who made these. If
you know, please let me know!
|
|
|
These
are the cutest A&J Mother's
Little Helper aprons! Thanks
Jayme -- you've done a fantastic
job on these! |
|
|
The
beater in this is a Betty Taplin. Cute
colors, but not painted as well
as the A&J sets. I
don't know who made these or
if they came in a set? Any information
would be appreciated. |
|
|
I
have two of the A&J beater
tops. One is blue-tip and
the other one is green. Has
anyone seen these in another
color?
I
have the footed bottom and
the Weller bottom and a clear
bottom (that came in a boxed
set) that these beaters fit
on.
** They
did come in red too -- I
saw one on eBay but just
couldn't bid high enough!
|
|
|
I
just had to add this other picture. I
just purchased (on eBay, of course)
the little handled A&J pitcher
and top! I've looked for
this one for years and am so proud
to finally have it. |
|
|
Although
I don't think that these Weller
pieces were meant as toys, they
are such a nice small size they
look wonderful on top of the Hoosier
Junior. |
|
|
On
the top of my regular size Hoosier
I have regular and "child size" graniteware
pieces. |
|
|
I
also have a very cute set of
child size cream & green graniteware bake
set. They are sitting UNDER my
little cream & green stove
and it is all sitting on top of
my BIG cream & green cook stove! |
|
|
I
also have a child size red & white
graniteware bake set. The
go nicely with my regular size
pieces. |
|
I
would love to hear from others
that collect children's kitchen
items. I would be interested
to know more about the A&J
pieces. Did the gingerbread
man and rabbit come in the
white? And did A&J
have complete sets of red
handled utensils. YES!! I
got an answer from an avid
A&J collector that said
the cutters came in the white
and also RED! OH NO
-- the search is on for the
small red A&J pieces. Thank
You Jayme for sharing your
knowledge!
Please email me if you have any children's
A&J cookie cutters
in the red or white I would
be interested in purchasing
them, or if you would just
like to "talk toys" with
me!
I
hope you have enjoyed looking
at my collection. Everywhere
I look I see things that
I forgot to take a picture
of! I would also like
to see what YOU collect! Have
a web page? Tell me about
it so I can share your treasures. I
would love to have more information
on the toy playtime kitchen
items.
