The story of FMV
The FMV toy brand story began in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, in 1978. The brainchild of Frederick M. Vernon, FMV was born out of his fondness for history and eye for fine details, which he combined to create a treasure trove of miniature vintage toys. Frederick's commitment to represent the past in the smallest details put FMV on the map for toy collectors. An interesting fact that may surprise you is that Frederick was a renowned horologist in his early years. This precision-centred craft could be why he managed to capture the magic of vintage objects in minute scales with such finesse.
