Dorfan is a vintage American toy brand, renowned for crafting exquisite model trains and railways. Its intricate designs and superior quality made the brand a favorite among both toy enthusiasts and serious collectors. While Dorfan's products exuded professional and technical craftsmanship, they still managed to capture the quintessential whimsical charm that makes vintage toys so endearing.

The Dorfan story starts in the early 192s in Newark, New Jersey. Founded by Milton and Julius Forcheimer, this toy brand swiftly rose to fame with its distinguished and aesthetically pleasing model trains. Sadly, Dorfan's success was short-lived. The Great Depression in the 193s dealt a significant blow to the company's finances leading to its closure. Still, Dorfan's legacy reverberates in the toy industry to this day. Interesting facts: The Dorfan trademark was indeed unique. Rather than use a logo, each model train was crafted with "Dorfan" scribed on the underside, a detail that leaves collectors awed and intrigued.
