The U.S. government controlled almost everything during World War I. Factories that produced clothing were told by the War Industries Board that they had to make uniforms. Even toy makers were told that they couldn't use tin in their toys so that it could be used in making war materials like weapons.
A tin coverd hat was used in the war and was thre to protect the soldiers heads from any nasty blows and other things because the the metal was very hard and therefore quite heavy .
because there is a lot of tin in it! xD ^_^*
One Tin Soldier was created in 1969.
Actually Rin Tin Tin was awarded to Lee Duncan, a member of the RAF during WWI for helping to save a kennel full of German Shorthair puppies, along with a female Alsatian. The female was Lisette, both puppies named after the dolls the French pilots carried in their jackets for good luck. Lisette died on the transport ship back to America. I am a retired insurance agent and I insured Lee's widow, Eva and his daughter, Carolyn, and have some memorabilia from his movie career, gifts from the family. Rin Tin Tins litter sister was actually named Nenette after the puppets and she died shortly after arriving in the US. I would love to discuss Rin Tin Tin history with you and see some of your memorabilia.
Robot toys can be purchased at Toys R Us, Walmart, and Target. These are the simpler versions for younger children. For a more complex toy, Radio Shack offers a couple different styles of tin can robot kits. These are for turning a simple tin can into a operational robot.
Tin toys were first marketed in the 1900s, where they were made out of high quality tin from the war effort. After the war began, they were made with less tin.
The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin - 1954 Wind-Wagon McClanahan 4-24 was released on: USA: 4 April 1958

Children during the Dust Bowl in the 1930s played with simple toys such as dolls made from corn husks, homemade wooden toys, marbles, tin can stilts, and balls made from rags or scraps of fabric. These toys were often crafted from materials that families already had on hand due to the economic hardships of the era.
Kids in the 1800's played with wooden tops that spin, hoops that you hit with a stick to keep them wheeling down the road and kites.They played with porcelin dolls, knitted dolls or "rag dolls". Did you know, they still played soccer then!
Well, it all depends on what Toy you are talking about, if it is a Doll for example, then Victorian children used to find little bits of debris (from clothing, rocks, plants, etc.), combined with good old fashion Imagination, and vuala! a doll :D There is no specific scientific answer to your question I'm afraid, this is because every child is unique and all toys created would have been done so manually. I hope i have answered your question correctly:).
There's no wind on the moon.
