Vossler details several company histories and their products, including tractors, steam engines, threshers, implements, farm trucks and horse-drawn machinery. He also tells about customized and scratch-built farm toys built in great detail, toy restoration, pedal toys, salesman's samples, and more. The book also covers the history of Toy Fanner Magazine, the National Farm Toy Show, and several museums.

The book also includes an overview of recent values and how collectors determine prices. As with most other collectibles, toys rated "mint in the box" usually carry a higher value. Some -including sets of tractors and implements -- bring three- and four-figure amounts. But don't be discouraged: many toys several years old will sell for less than $50. Plus, it's fun to pick from the many new models.
