Rare and decorative wooden toys designed by Ko Verzuu for ADO Holland (Arbeid door Onvolwaardigen) in the early 1950s.

ADO was a special Dutch social workshop where toys were produced by people with disabilities. As a result, ADO objects today are not only cherished by vintage toy collectors, but also by mid-century design enthusiasts.

Ko Verzuu designed the complete ADO toy program, of which nearly 1,000 different models are known in total.

This example is fully original, including the metal ADO logo plate on the back, and is in very nice vintage condition with light signs of use appropriate to its age.

A special collector’s item and a beautiful decorative piece for a mid-century interior or design collection.
