1920s Eaton’s Children’s Christmas Book – The Adventures of Master Tubby Among the Toys

This charming vintage children’s Christmas book was produced by T. Eaton Co. Limited as a holiday giveaway during the late 1920s or early 1930s. Illustrated in soft watercolours with classic red-and-black accent printing, it tells the story of Master Tubby exploring the delights of Eaton’s famous Toyland.

The booklet is printed on heavy grade paper / light card stock, typical of Eaton’s promotional holiday books of the era. It features delightful illustrations of Santa Claus, early toy trains, dolls, plush animals, toy planes, doll furniture, and other period toys — offering a wonderful snapshot of Canadian retail history between the wars.
