Tyke Toys
As the wood products industry changed in the 1930s due to packaging innovations, such as corregated cardboard boxes, the Menasha Wooden Ware changed with the times. This 1934 brochure highlighted the toys and juvenile furniture that the company began to make and market. This introduction of dollhouses, dollhouse furniture, tables and chairs helped to bolster the company's survival and the security of many jobs for its craftsmen.
This lamp at the right was a Tyke Toys product. It is 1 1/2" scale. .
