Another small maker from the 1950s who made small vehicles and these farm animals. Animals have the Allied logo on their sides in a circle but often it was not molded completely and is unreadable. Perhaps copying Auburn they painted the top of the backs of the horses and cows. Animals are hollow and were made in two pieces and glued together. See Caldwell below for more Allied info.

In the early 1950s, Ausley made hard plastic cowboys with clip on swivel arms. They come unpainted and have rectangular bases marked AUSLEY.

Brumberger located in New York made primarily photography accessories They did make some toys including Walkie Talkies and tin banks. In 1968 toy maker T.Cohn filed for bankruptcy and Brumberger bought their molds and tooling. They used this equipment to make toy doll houses, service stations as well as; farm, Fort Comanche and military play sets at least through 1979.

Papa bear, NONE.

NONE - Tank (blow molded) with headercard bag, Tim-Mee figure to show scale and is not included. Tank removed from bag for picture.

Made by Commonwealth Products of Massachusetts (a commonwealth) these figures were perhaps made first but we think they were made due to the popularity of the Van Brode premiums. It is possible that the molds for both the Van Brode and Commonwealth figures were made by the same mold maker. In 1951 when first made they were sold painted in window boxes in sets of 12. Then they were sold in four boxed sets of eight figures and also on individual cards (pictured below). The quality of painting varies and the figures can also be found unpainted in a variety of colors. The figures have bases with two raised diamonds on the underside as can be seen in the above picture on the right. Some countries have male and female figures but most do not. A boxed set of all 32 figures in the flesh colored plastic was also sold complete with paints for the child to decorate the figures. In later years (probably after Alaska became a state in 1959) five of the bases were revised and given new names; Eskimo to ALASKA, Early American to ENGLAND, China Boy to JAPAN, India to SIKH and Austria to SWITZERLAND (man). These revised names have only been found in the later unpainted plastic colors. So a total of 37 figures in 32 poses have been found to date. In later years the unpainted versions were sold in small header bags as seen below and the mold was sent to Mexican here they were also made and distributed in Rubenstein International (a promotions company) also in small header card bags. I have been told these figures were also used as ice cream premiums with the two diamonds fitting into slots in the plastic holder and the surrounded by ice cream. You would then need to eat the ice cream to see which figure you got. These may also have been Nabisco cereal premiums. There was a Commonwealth Moulding Company in Australia and maybe there was a connection with the US company. Distinct Asian poses have been found in Australia in lots containing poses identical those made in the USA. Perhaps a friendship stuck up during WWII led to a joint international operation.

The above group came from Australia with poses not made in the USA.

Commonwealth sold the figures, factory painted in sets of eight (four sets) and individually on cards.

The Deluxe Reading vs Eldon dilemma

-

The firemen on foot pictured below were sold with firetrucks made by Deluxe Reading and Eldon. Obviously based upon the MPC ring hands the actual maker is unknown. The white accessories are very similar to the ones made by MPC and the ones pictured below came with a Deluxe Reading firetruck but we can't be totally sure some were not made by MPC. The Deluxe Reading fire truck drivers are silver and have clip on red helmets. The Eldon drivers were also made in a silver color but their helmets are molded onto the heads. Foot pegs for Deluxe Reading truck attachment are often missing or short.

In the early 1980s DFC made a series of playsets. The prehistoric set came with a heavy vinyl playmat, three vacuform "mountains", cardboard raft and a nice series of 45mm cavemen compatible with Marx, a series of smaller animals mostly copied from Processed Plastic (Tim-Mee) and a double set (12 animals) of copies of Sinclair dinosaurs. The Sinclair dinosaur mold was made in 1964 for the Sinclair Oil Company who sold bagged sets of these dinosaurs at the 1964 World's Fair. The "Sinclair" dinosaurs are also compatible in scale with Marx. All in all a nice set if you can find one.

- 5.00 Cardboard "raft". (2)

Cavemen

Made in Hong Kong for DFC. The above picture shows one butterscotch and five cream cavemen made by Marx and the five dark brown cavemen made by DFC. As you can see the DFC figures are compatible with Marx figures.

The first "fat" triceratops is I think a copy of a cereal premium. The other seven are thin copies of the 1970s Processed Plastic prehistoric(Tim-Mee) animals. All are marked made in Hong Kong for DFC.

NONE - Pack of three 1/72 WWII playsets as seen above. Each set has 35 pieces including soldiers a tank or jeep and a vinyl playmat. Dated 1983 and made in Hong Kong.

The Plastic Toys & Noveltiies Corporation was founded by Michael "Mickey" Denmark after WWII and in business until about 1985. Based in Brooklyn NY products from this company are often incorrectly thought to have been made by Payton.

The Plastic Toys and Novelties Corporation made copies of the Tim-Mee 60mm GIs in Metallic blue and army green. These were misidentified as having been made by Eldon in the Geppert Guide.

- 15.00 REISSUE 48583 Combat Soldiers; 28 Pieces. Made by Victory Buy.

NONE - Combat Soldier Set, carded bagged set (removed for picture). Has unique rocket shooter + six copies of Tim-Mee GIs.

Thanks to and ad by Bill Kipper in PLAYSET MAGAZINE (see pictures above) we have found out that figures that we thought were by MPC are instead by a small company known as "DK" Plastic Toys & Novelties Co. The figures have been found in gold, silver and metallic blue and are of the "ringhand" style which caused the identification problems.

These figures were designed by Marcel Jovine the man who also designed the visible man & woman kits for Renwal. He later found fame designing various medals including those used in the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid. Born in Italy Mr. Jovine was in the Italian army in WWII and was captured by the allies in North Africa and sent to the USA as a POW. After the war he stayed in the USA and pursued his love of sculpture. The Emenee Fairy Tale figures were produced in 1951. They were part of the "Once Upon a Time" series by the Emenee Toy Company (thanks to Bob Wilson of Phoenix Toys for pointing this out). Ememee mainly made toy musical instruments, but made other odd toys such as a Munsters mold set as well. Each little Once Upon a Time window box would hold the figures and accessories from one fairy tale along with a copy of the story. These early 50s figures were made of a rubber like vinyl and some had painted highlights. Like most eastern US toy companies Emenee had an office/showroom in the Toy Building at 200 5th Avenue in New York City. Paul Stadinger has also found the figures in a series know as Playbook in which six fairy tales are each given there own small book/box and dated 1958. The six fairy tales in this series are; Vol.1 The Three Little Pigs, Vol. 2 Little Red Riding Hood, Vol. 3 Jack and the Beanstalk, Vol. 4 Hansel and Gretel, Vol. 5 The Three Bears and Vol. 6 Cinderella. There is no manufacturer on these boxes, but the pictures at Paul's site show that the figures do not seem to be painted and they look like they are made of polyethylene. At some point Transogram (thanks to Rick Koch for this information) either leased or bought the molds and in 1963 released the figures in a polyethylene soft plastic as part of their "Story Time Erasable Coloring Set" series. We are uncertain how many different pieces were made but have seen the number "65" on back of the "grandmother" and some pieces apparently do not have a number. The older Emenee figures (some accessories were a stiffer plastic) were made of rubber like vinyl and factory painted (competition for the Marx fairykins?), while later Transogram figures are unpainted and made of polyethylene soft plastic. Both Emenee and Transogram seems to have kept the figure colors the same over the years. In the 1980s copies without numbers and marked HONG KONG were made but we are unsure of who made them or how they were sold.

In 1946 Caldwell Molding started up in Canada. By 1948 they had moved to the Bronx in NYC and then to nearby Pelham Manor around 1955. They made molds for others and also for themselves with their primary business of making plastic buttons for clothing. They also started making molds that made small toys. They set up a subsidiary, Empire Plastic (New York is the "Empire state) to sell the toys they were making. They made all sorts of small vehicles as well as farm animals. They made the mold making the hollow belly animals Ohio Art used in their farm playsets. In 1960 they were sold to Carolina's Enterprises and moved to the Raleigh Durham area (Tarboro) of North Carolina. There they made a line of 3 inch jointed western figures sold on blister cards that competed with Marx's similar line. They also started making blow molded Halloween and Christmas decorations that would light up and be used inside or out. In 1976 for the Centennial they made a set of six inch figures. There were 8 figures, 5 colonials and 3 Indians. A few years later they made the four space figures during the Star Wars craze. When Marx went out of business in 1979 they bought the tooling to make the "Big Wheel" tricycle but it seems the toy range was phased put in the 80s. They became part General Foam Dynamics in the 1980s who went out of business in the late 1990s.

Empire made some nice mini airplanes that were then copied by Lido and may have influenced MPC. They were originally made in hard plastic but by the time they moved to Pelham they were made in "UNBREAKABLE" soft plastic.

CUSTER'S LAST STAND

Gibbs was a small molding company in Henderson Kentucky. We believe they made mostly auto parts but in the mid 1950s they made a unique Custer's Last Stand playset. It came in a can that advertised there being 80 figures, but we have found 84 different pieces pictured including; 1 wagon, four teepees with unique artwork, 7 horses without riders, 17 horses with riders and 55 figures on foot. Also included was a booklet on the battle and a map of the battlefield. The figures are roughly 40/45mm in scale and semiflat. They can be found in hard and soft plastic (some cans have a combination of both). The 7th Cavalry are in blue and usually the mounted Indians are in red and the foot Indians in yellow, but we have found a few foot Indians in red. The hard plastic figures are prone to damage and getting the cavalry horses in soft plastic still attached to their bases is difficult. We like the set as every figure was a different pose. Figure top left is usually assumed to be Custer. Of course the 7th did not have a wagon and their swords were left behind (so they would not rattle and give the troops away) and not at the battle.

Gibert made a series of 3 1/2 inch figures from the 007 James Bond spy movies. They are made of an odd hard plastic and factory painted.

Halsams is primarily known for their domino sets, American Bricks and American logs sets. In the early to mid 1960s they made a wooden fort playset "FORT AMERICA" Earlier sets will have Lido figures (as shown on the box) but as Lido went out of business in 1964 Halsams at some point switched to Tim-Mee Toys for figure supply (box lid stayed the same showing Lido figures). Although we have see a few sets with Lido figures they usually have the Tim-Mee ones.

After the Russian Sputnik was launched powers that be panicked and went around trying new ways to give children a better education. Houghton Mifflin along with a group of college professors developed these plastic objects to be used with a Kindergarten program "Getting Ready To Read" to help children learn consonants. Developed in the mid 1960s the 88 objects were first made in red. In 1981 the set was revised, enlarged and the now 114 plastic objects switched from being made in red to yellow.

GREEN BERETS

These figures all had some type of bondo put over the MT 1988 CHINA markings found on the backs of the figures and were then painted. We have stripped the new paint, but the bondo type material is still there although you can see through it.

In 1983 Multi Toys sold a playset based upon the the popular 1980s TV show "The Love Boat". It came with the figures seen above, the first six are hard plastic, factory painted and represent the ship's crew. They were the regular cast led by Gavin Macleod as the Captain Stubing. The single colored figures represent the weekly guest stars who usually had some travail but eventually found love aboard the boat by the end of each weeks show. They have three dress styles; formal, casual & bathing suits. Figures are about 50mm in size. Characters are marked under their bases; "C 1983, Aaron Spelling Prod. Inc". All figures are marked "MTC" on their backs which we assume stands for the Multi Toys Inc..
