Pinocchio and Fortunello demonstrate how political change, the vicissitudes of the market, as well as fashion and technology, taste and educational methods have influenced the development of wooden toys in Gröden. Vinzenz Senoner's (Vastlè, Wolkenstein) SEVI company managed to keep pace with the societal changes of the 20th century and adapt to new markets with a supply of high-quality products.

Mobile fish, red elephants, ducks to tow: designers from Italy and German were always developing new motifs commissioned by SEVI. New technology allowed the expansion of the product range and materials, too. This is how SEVI had the whole children's toy area covered. Yet the products still kept their originality and had artistic impact.

Most toys from Gröden were mass produced, yet there were also some carefully made unique items, like this post wagon with access door, double shafts, yellow varnishing and the writing 'K.K. Post'. As of 1856, post wagons accessed Gröden on the road through the valley, and in 1867 Gröden was joined up with the Brennerbahn railway via Waidbruck, which made doing business in the valley a lot easier.

Pulling toys like these fighting goats were called 'tica-taca' in the Ladin language. In its heyday before 1914, the Gröden range comprised up to 500 articles, including dolls, horses, carts, waggon, hampelmans, marble games, tightrope walking toys, acrobats and all kinds of figurines. There was no protection of designs, and items could be copied by other producers. 

Pendulum toys were produced from the end of the 19th century to the start of the 20th century. This toy cow lowers its head to the trough when the pendulum swings, while the calf lifts its head up to drink milk. The wooden ball was produced on the lathe by making balls shaped like on a string of pearls and then separating them from each other. In 1877, there were 300 foot-powered and 60 water-powered lathes in Gröden.

After jointed dolls, carved animals were the most important items in the Gröden range. Most of these were horses: rocking horses, draft horses for all sorts of carts and horses on wheels. These horses were painted and delivered in all sizes: from little toy figurines to ones that children could sit on.

It was customary to put pocket watches, considered valuable objects, on display in living rooms enclosed in ornately carved, partially gilded watch stands. Watch stands were a item commonly produced in Gröden from the mid-18th century until the 1870s, often featuring an allegorical depiction of time as an elderly man with a beard and wings. He usually held a sickle or scythe, later also a sand glass.

This porphyry trough hewn from a stone block with the year 1868 engraved on it used to stand near Hotel Adler and was a place for horses to drink. At four metres in length, it is the largest of some 50 porphyry troughs that used to be in Gröden; it has been standing in the museum garden since 1960. It is attributed to the stonemason Scola Petru from Falcade, who founded a stonemason's business in Pontives.

A stylised depiction of a double eagle in slip decoration, the sign of the cross and the year 1828 adorn a large glazed clay plate. More decorative elements are arranged in concentric circles. Ceramic utensils were typical for Tyrol, and this plate comes from Hof Rescion in Überwasser.

This wooden type of rucksack was laden with carved items to be taken to distributors or annual markets. The shelves on the rear section of the carrier are moveable thanks to straps, while toy horses and goats were placed on the platform at the top for show. Back carriers like this were in use well into the first half of the 19th century.
