Please let Earl and his family know how much
Midgetoy has meant to you or a
loved
one by sending them an e-mail, letter or give them a call. I know
that
they would love
to hear from you. I believe Midgetoy will live on with a little
help
from Midgetoy
collectors, friends and family.
Earl needs all the support that we, the Loyal
Midgetoy
Collectors, can give him and his family!!

It is a fantastic source of information about toy die-cast vehicles.
A Note from the Webmaster
It's
been an honor to construct this web site for Al & Earl Herdklotz.
The
history of the
A & E Tool and
Gage Co. and Midgetoy is more than just
a story
about a toy company. It
is a story about what America is
all about.
When Al
& Earl switched from defense
products to the manufacture of die-cast
toys, it was just
one of many adjustments they
would make along the way.
They continually had to adapt
to marketing
trends and fierce
competition from
die-cast makers from around the
would. To compete for almost four
decades is a tribute to the their
craftsmanship and perseverance.

UPDATE
It is with great
sorrow for me to tell about Al's passing. Al Herdklotz
became
ill on
Christmas Day, he passed away on December 28, 2002.
He was
loved by many
and
will be missed. He and Earl gave many
hours of joy to
children. You will be
missed
Al by many, young and old.
Thank you Al. |
