Crescent
Description
Crescent Toys, hailing from Great Britain, is a beloved brand known for its wide range of intricately designed die-cast and hollow-cast miniature models. From military figures and hospital staff to farm animals and dollhouse furniture, their collection is a true treasure cove for any collector. Famous for its attention to detail and quality, Crescent has managed to etch a permanent spot in the hearts of numerous vintage toy enthusiasts.
Crescent Toys was founded in the heart of London in 1922 by Henry Eagles and his sons Rhys and John. The company rode the wave of the toy boom in the mid-20th century, flourishing into a thriving industry. Originally manufacturing only die-cast metal products, they quickly branched out into hollow-cast figurines to meet the increasing demand. They even became a trusted name in BBC for producing merchandise for their television series. An interesting tidbit: it was one of the few companies to provide a complete hospital set of toy figures- a nurse set that intrigued many.
