George Miller and Kate Scuffle look at the Dent Hardware Cast Iron Toy Display at the National Museum of Industrial History in Bethlehem. Their guests are Peter Dent and Glenn Koehler, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for NMIH.
This temporary exhibit for the holidays features exquisite artifacts from the personal collections of the Dent family, focusing on the Dent Hardware Company, who produced toys in the Lehigh Valley from the late 1800s to 1973. The company cast its first toys in 1898 and quickly became one of the nation’s leading iron toy makers. More information is available at the NMIH website.
