Quent Cordair Fine Art in downtown Napa is seeking people who have toys from the original Napa Toy Store, which was at 1301 First St. in downtown Napa from 1952 to 1991.

The art gallery occupies the space and is interested in creating a tribute to the toy store in the windows for the holiday season.

Toys would be labeled as “on loan” from the owner and would be returned in early January. As an added bonus, Joyce Brown, who managed the store for nearly three decades, is donating some of the original red and white striped wrapping paper synonymous with gifts from The Napa Toy Store.

Gallery owners Quent and Linda Cordair said the tribute to the toy shop will be a delightful trip down memory lane for those who grew up receiving gifts from the store.

Anyone willing to lend their toys for the window display should contact Linda Cordair at 255-2242.
