Cyclops Toys is an Australian icon that was bought out by Line Bros. UK during the 1950’s and ultimately returned to Australian ownership via Hunter Leisure. My collection of Cyclops items is limited to a refurbished scooter that I keep simply because I had one as a kid. I think it was a standard for most Aussie kids to at least have ridden a Cyclops scooter, pedal car, or bike during their childhood.
However, something that I have enjoyed looking at for a number of years since I picked it up at a market stall, is a 1960’s sales brochure for the Lines Bros. and Cyclops products. I have had it mounted as a double-sided perspex mount and it hangs in our rumpus room along side my toy display.
