The Anne H. Lewis Tinker Toy collection contains both original and photocopied instruction sheets and booklets, photocopied patents, photocopied catalogs, photocopied advertisements and articles, and original photographs of Tinkertoy and other products developed by the Toy Tinkers. These paper materials accompanied a donation of Tinkertoy play sets from the collection of Anne Lewis. The bulk of these materials are dated between 1914 and 1953. Additional scope and content information can be found under the “Contents List” section of this finding aid.

The Anne H. Lewis Tinker Toy collection is arranged into five series, one of which has been further divided into subseries. The collection is housed in two archival document boxes.
