Eugene Toy & Hobby

Eugene Toy & Hobby’s history can be traced back through 5 generations of the Agerter family. Great-Grandfather Perry retired to Eugene in the late 1920s, and took over ownership of a simple gift shop and magazine stand. Not too long afterward, he realized that his “retirement project” was just too much of a job! At that point he sold the business to his son Byron who, with his wife Eva and young son Paul, moved to Eugene in 1933 and took over. They immediately began adding to their inventory, expanding into the toys, model trains and airplanes that would later dominate their inventory. To this day, Eugene Toy & Hobby is still owned and operated by the Agerter family.
