Amato's New Britain https://www.amatosmiddletown.com/
Amato's Mew Britain was to me an old fashioned 50-ish toy store in a big downtown building. Had we lived in CT (not PA), my mother in the 50s would have been happy to take me here as compared with certain other stores that I could only go with my father.
I had a weekly consulting job nearby 30 years ago and it was fund to stop in every few weeks.
They also had a big display at the Amherst show and held a Bargain Weekend sometime in February!
