Hustler Action Toy Builder was a metal
and wood construction toy system, circa
1927 -1929 produced by a company famous
for pull-along toys.
These pull-along toys are fully featured
in an excellent web site entitled
'Judy's
Old Wood Toys' and a visit is strongly
recommended. The site gives a history of
the Hustler firm and a full listing of
their models.
My web site concerns itself with one
branch of Hustler's manufacture, the
construction sets sold under the name
'Action Toy Builder'. At first glance they
are made for young kids. An hour or two
study of it will reveal a deeper challenge
for the experienced hobbyist. As the name
implies each arrangement is planned to
provide action and movement and to achieve
this skill is required.
The photos of models are those made by the
site owner and built this year, or some 73
years after the set was sold, but maybe
others have photos which they will let me
add. This set was
obtained from an eBay auction.

If you own a set and have designed and
built a new model I would like to feature
it here with acknowledgement.

Builder can be gained through the
