   We have a vintage toy car, probably about 50 years old that my oldest son played with. Underneath is the name Midwest, and Rockford Ill. We plan to pass it on to our youngest son, for his little boy. Thought you might like to add it to the list of manufacturers. It is quite crude by todays standards. It is streamlined but slab sided.

   My great grandfather owned a toy company in Chicago. The name was
   The Toy Gun Manufacturing Co.
   1908(year) I think. He designed and patented the Rough Rider Teddy Pom Pom

   Cleaning out the attic I came upon an unopened (still sealed in original packaging box) metal car from 1940’s or early 1950’s. The box reads: Police Radio Car, 1 Only #566, (Unassembled), Metal Masters Co. Inc., 127-129 Catherine St., Phila., PA. Any idea what’s in the box beyond the given description?

      Hi, I love it. I am guessing you do not sill have the Metal Masters? It was a small company who made pressed steel toys mostly. I have had 2 items. The first on a metal train very beat up and it had no marking but a person bid $125 right off so i asked who made it and they told me the only problem i had sold the other train for $150 but it was mint and i had not looked hard enough for company name i am guessing so it would have been worth triple that had i know. The trains were huge and all steel so it was a much larger heavier toy than the police car as that was diecast which was only made after ww2 until they closed in the 1950’s. So any item from them i am now just collecting as which also true with Ertl trucks + tractors from the 1960’s to 1970’s. I have seen a Metal Masters Die-cast Wind-up Toy Ambulance. So i think yours is about the same a diecast metal top with a underneath piece of diecast or it may be steel as it looks thicker with a with a metal handle on the passenger side to wind up the toy. Also looks like it has no wheels until you pick it up. So if you have it which i doubt i would love to buy it. Thanks Matt

   Correction. Adress St # above is : 727-129 Catharine St., not 127-129. Catharine is spelt correctly.

   Neighbor across the street had a board game that I remember playing. Would have been mid 50s. I’m sure the name was “High Finance”. Seems like a precursor to Monopoly, but slightly different. There were businesses, like a candy store, that you bought, got a paper deed to. Don’t remember much else about how it was played, just that markers moved around a trail on a board, you could bid for businesses you wanted to buy, with play money. One player functioned as the banker. Thought it was made by Milton Bradley, but could have been Parker Bros. Really loved that game, even more than Monopoly. Have any idea who made, are there any left in existence? Have looked on other sites, but can’t find.

      I have a game called “Finance and Fortune” by Parker Brothers, which predates Monopoly. There isn’t a candy store, but one of the corners is a “Carnival” spot. The houses and pieces are made of wood. I wonder i this is what you’re thinking of?

   I have found a wooden play set called Gallops Riding School. On the lid it says made in Great Britain by Park Toys, with the slogan “Simply the best toys for years”, with a picture of a squirrel. It’s good quality with the figures being very similar to Britain’s. Unfortunately I can’t find any reference to Park Toys, does anyone have any idea who they were? From the illustration on the box I would say it’s a 1960s/70s toy. Any information would be much appreciated.

    I have 24 antique lead figures – 11 Lead horses (5 tan, 6 white) and 13 cowboys, several bearing the label
    ” FRANCHAL,Made in France, Unbreakable” on the underside. I think these were probably made between 1925-1935 because my father-in-law (1918-1983) collected many, many lead soldiers, canons, cowboys etc when he was growing up. I can find nothing on the internet about this company.

       Hello, can anyone help me? My uncle has a stuffed dog and I’m looking for information about it. The tag on it’s ear says Coburg and in German it says, ” Visit the 900 year old town between Thuringer forest and Main Ladt for your visit.” Then hand written it says, “Made in Western Germany handmade in Peter Lel’s toyworks from Coburg.” I’m not positive about Peter’s last name. It could be Lel or Leh. There is no date on the tag. I’m wondering how old this dog is and what it would be worth. My uncle doesn’t know anything about it since he purchased it at a garage sale. He has had it for about ten years.

    I have one of my dad’s toys – the box and some of its contents. He was born in 1909. The box top displays animal and other character figures on it and is titled: “UmakeM The Home Toymaker Tools, Material, Designs and full instructions”. The bottom right of the box top says: “W.R. Price, 127 Fifth Ave., N.Y.” The left side flap of the top box has a circle stamp on it that says “No. 1”. Inside the box are the Instructions and the paper dolls to place on top of the wood before cutting them out of the wood; (the wood is also inside the box). Both the Instructions and the paper figurines identify W.R. Price, Inc. New York as the manufacturer. I didn’t see this manufacturer in your list of vintage toy makers. Can you tell me the year of this toy and how rare this toy might be ? Any information would be appreciated.

    Another vintage toy brand which could be included on the list is NOSCO, which produced plastic toy cars, etc. I have a NOSCO toy cannon made from bright colored plastic (green barrel, red wheels, yellow frame) which “fires” plastic projectiles. A fairly extensive variety of NOSCO toys can be found listed on EBAY and are usually reasonably priced.

31. Andy Doetsch March 13, 2017 at 1:20 pm

    My name is Andy Doetsch and as a kid, I used to live in Webster, NY. While there in the early 1960s, my dad started a business called Treencraft Playthings (or Playtoys or something like that) in which he designed and built wooden take-apart toys and sold them. The business was only in existence for a few years as we moved to Rifton, NY in about 1967-ish where we lived in Woodcrest (a community…you might’ve heard of it). There is a possibility that he continued to make these wooden toys there and they might be called/labeled something like “Woodcrest Community Toys (or Playthings).

    My question to you is, have you ever come across a wooden play toy with that label stamped or maybe even wood-burned into the bottom of it? I vaguely remember a take-apart truck, but I know there were other designs of toys.

    Dad is gone now…he passed away in 2006. What spawned this whole new quest is, my cousin who lives on a farm in Upstate NY found several large trays of wooden parts that his father (my dad’s brother) acquired from my dad. I would love to find/get ahold of one (or more) of the toys Dad built back then and see if we have enough parts to put together another toy or two for MY grandson.

    If you have seen or maybe know the whereabouts of any Treencraft (or maybe it was Treen Craft) wooden toys, I would really appreciate you steering me in that direction!

    Thank you for your time.

    Regards,

       It’s one word, Faye: Gulcraft. They made some really endearing dinosaurs, didn’t they? Unfortunately the company seems to have gone out of business years ago. I saw quite a few of the rolly-polly dinos in various thrift shops in NYC for a while.

I saw a similar picture on Pinterest and the caption said 1950 but mine may be a little older. Do you have any information on this manufacturer?

    I have a stuffed 55 year old stuffed toy made my Jungle Joy in England. It’s standing like a person, wearing a blue and white striped night shirt with matching sleeping hat with a small white ball on the end. It appears to be a cat with a long tail and the material it’s constructed of appears to be mohair. The only tag I can find on it says Jungle Joy on one side and Made in England on the other and it’s attached to the bottom of one foot. It’s in extremely good condition and my neighbor said she purchased it in an Irish themed shop around 55 years ago in Lancaster, Ohio. It sort of resembles a cougar with it’s long tail. If you could tell me anything about this toy company or anything else about this toy I’d appreciate it. If you need photos of it I can photograph it for you and send them via email so you may see what it looks like. Just let me know specifically what you need to see on the toy if you would.

    I have a stuffed cat from 1964 that was made by MY TOY. He has a partial rubber face. His nose, mouth and front of his neck (where MY TOY and 1964 are inscribed), the only rubber part. He is mostly pink with a diamond patterned torso and legs consisting of colors that were once white, light pink and purple in the diamond pattern (now they look off white, light tan and purple). He also has paper eyes. He has always been my favorite stuffed animal and is 8 years older than I am. Since the company made a lot of stuffed animals back then, I think you should add them to the list. You can still find some of their stuffed animals on eBay. I ran across them because I was curious what other stuffed animals they made and if he was a unique cat and what he looked like when first made (he has been loved a lot over the years and faded quite a bit).

    I have a heavily animated plush Poodle that winds up and plays a lullaby. It has an embroidered label on the bottom that is hard to make out. It looks like “Jerry McMilcan, Darien, Conn.” It looks to be Victorian to 1920s?? Can’t find anything on the web for this manufacturer. Any ideas?

    Thanks Paul for putting together this comprehensive list of retro toys! I’m a huge fan of wooden toys, and this is my first time taking a peek into the history of the toy industry. I find the ebb and flow / rise and fall of these toy companies absolutely fascinating. Like you said about Hasbro and Mattel buying up various brands (often facing bankruptcy or other difficult circumstances). Just an example, I found out Jenga is tucked under the Hasbro. And this kind of conglomeration is seldom something the big dog is transparent to its consumers about. Thanks for shedding some light!

    I had a little toy stables called Windsor Riding School which when it was bought for me was in a long dark blue box with those words written in white

    I cant remember the colour of the building but what what I do remember is the stables were red & the names of the horses were ned blackie star & domino I think they were all brown except for blackie

    I had to fix the main part of the board “grass so i looked like a paddock which was green & in rectangular in shape the track was white

    A few little jumps came with it . I had it years but unfortunaelly at the time I broke it & had to get rid of it

    I tried googling where can I buy one without joy I searched for it on amazon without joy

    Do you know where I could buy one

    Our calculator to radio interfacing algorithms could potentially be of interest to others. We needed to increase their baud rate in order for the microcontrollers to be able to communicate fast enough before the calculator handshake protocol timed out. The le of the battery are covered and are not exposed.

    How about Britains, Taylor and Barrett, John Hill and Co, makers of lead toys, all British.
    Simon and Rivolet, makers of lead toys, French.
    There is another I have marked RD on a lead horse.
    There may be many more from Europe I haven’t seen.

    I have a little very heavy metal child’s wagon. The sides have a graphic “taxi cab jr with a little bus”. I can’t find any information about it. Does anyone know anything?

    I was born in 1946 and have a memory of a Christmas present before I was school age. I find it hard to describe but it was like a deep picture frame with a 3D effect of Miss Muffet sitting on a tuffet eating her curds and whey. Pressing a small lever at the side of the frame , a spider dropped down from a tree she was sat under, and the spoon and bowl fell to the floor because she was frightened.

    It frightened me and even now at the age of 75 I still don’t like spiders. Have no idea what make it was and don’t know anyone who had something like this. Anyone out there who does !!!
