A SHORT HISTORY
Until the turn of the 20th century, toys and their production was more or less something parents and grandparents did for the children of the day. America was the first country to appreciate a vast untapped market in the 1890s and Britain and Germany soon followed. Within a five year span at the turn of the century, Brittains began making their model soldiers, Harbutts began to make their plasticine and in 1902, Dean's began to make their rag books.Collection
