In Search of the Remco Toy Company

Подробнее о видео

The Remco Toy Company is a Boomer favorite and best remembered for toys marketed and sold in the late 1950s and early 1960s on television.

Remco was founded by two cousins, Isaac "Ike" Heller and Saul Robbins. Armand Daddis soon joined the two as the company gradually moved from simple 'walkie-talkies' to a variety of sophisticated remote control toys. The name Remco comes from the two words "Remote Control".

You can see that the Indiana University film restoration program is hard at work restoring many of the 16mm & 35mm kid shows and especially toy commercials in my collection.

One goal is to get back to working on a series telling the history of the boomers that helped shaped the world we live in today and the roll playing toys that helped to influence them, but that's another story I'll get to tell you later.
