Were you aware that you can have unique farm toys made exclusively for you? This is one of the rewarding aspects of farm toy collection and toys in general. Sure, you can go to the local chain store and get mass produced toys that look like every other toy. But, they most likely will not have that extra special touch or excellent detail that a local craftsman is capable of. The availability of such toys depends on your budget and location. If you want a nice collectible from a popular artist then you may have to fork out quite a bit. However, you could also find a local wood worker that does these types of projects on the weekend. They usually sell good items for cheap. The wonderful thing about this is that they are one of a kind. Each item is usually a bit different. I will give you some useful details about this.
Custom farm toys need to be part of any collection set. Of course, get your major brands and toss those in with your other pieces, but also create a separate set for custom works. This can easily become your most cherished set in fast order. The best thing is that you are the only one who has it. That makes it incredibly rare and valuable to you. But, the extra profit you may receive from reselling it is somewhat trickier to figure out. The workmanship must be nice. Also, there needs to be some interest surrounding the maker. That usually comes with time. I would strongly suggest stocking up on whatever you can get your hands on and maintaining them in good condition. If you do not especially love any of the pieces, then just wait awhile and resell. You will probably turn a profit.
Pedal tractors and tractor toys are well loved in this genre. Honestly, they are the basis of any toy collection that involves farm type items. If you can find a custom farm toys creator that also understands how to create moving parts then you have found gold. Fixed parts toys are great, but moving parts are typically top notch. If the creator is skilled then you could have a wonderful piece on your hands. Typically, if you are obtaining a tractor toy, you will need the wheels and steering wheel to move. Enormous bonus points if she can create a movable top or other engine parts. That easily shoots the price up by twice or triple as much. It also increases the resell value. Do your research and check your local papers for such craftsmen.
