It’s unclear how many NuPenny Toy Stores were in existence, or if there were ever more than one. Whatever the facts, one remains. Conceived in actuality more as a stand than a store, this model of portable toy display and sales endeavor is nomadic, while owing its appearance to the more “permanent” brick and mortar stores or perhaps to the mid-century Automats to whose aesthetic it appears to have aspired. Throughout history there have been documented sightings of a NuPenny Toy Store in Maine, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, and Arkansas. Only one is known to exist at the time of this writing. This may indeed be NuPenny’s Last Stand.
