Abstract:

Luther Ashby of Hudson makes a line of Appalachian folk toys whose origins date back three or four hundred years, their designs copied, improved upon, and passed on to the next generation. His business, Pioneer Folk Toys, produces 24 items, including flipper-dingers and Gee-Haw Whimmydiddles.
