1 Antiques Publishes New Arcade Manufacturing Company History

1 Antiques author Tony Bonn has published a concise history of the Arcade Manufacturing Company whose inception in 1885 foreshadowed a toy making legend whose greatest years would be the 1920s-30s.

Bonn found numerous short histories which overlapped and contained inconsistencies which could be combined into a consolidated history, covering the pre-Arcade roots, and ending with its dissolution in 1953.

The article published in our blog covers the basic chronology, but the full history is available for purchase which covers the history, but also the principals of the numerous firms and their technical innovations. True Arcade fans will enrich their knowledges of the company which occupies a prominent place among American cast iron toy manufacturers.
