Collectable itemContext
Founded in 1955 by Richard Dakin in San Francisco, R. Dakin & Co. began as an importer of European shotguns before pivoting to toys, specifically the iconic, sawdust-filled "Dream Pets" in 1957. Following a 1966 plane crash that killed the founding family, the company was restructured, eventually becoming a major U.S. plush manufacturer known for licensed products, before merging with Applause Inc. in 1995.Collection
