My Favorite Toy to collect is the Kenton Ox Cart pulling a log. This toy is often misrepresented and not often found . The Kenton version of this toy may be the original that all others copied. Lewis Bixler of Kenton toys kept notes that indicate only 400 were made and sold the first year they produced catalogs 1900. The Kenton Ox Log Cart does not show up in any other catalogs. Since then two world wars have taken place where all types of metal toys have been melted down to support the war effort. How many of these Kenton Ox carts have actually survived over the years? Not many that I have seen.
