Ohio Art
Description
Ohio Art is a beloved toy brand famous for its creative and imaginative products. Renowned for encouraging childhood imagination, it's perhaps most well-known for the internationally recognized "Etch A Sketch" toy. This brand spans the categories of play toys, art, and most importantly, children's creativity. Proving itself as a corner stone in the global toy industry, its rich history and innovative products continue to capture the hearts of both children and collectors.
Ohio Art was founded in Bryan, Ohio in 1908 by Henry Winzeler, a man with a zest for life and a passion for art. Initially, Ohio Art was a manufacturer of metal picture frames, but it soon extended its product line to toys in 1917, making the brand a pioneer in the metal lithography process for toys. The brand secured its place in pop culture with its most iconic creation "Etch A Sketch", launched in 196. Despite multiple acquisitions over the years, Ohio Art has always remained a symbol of creativity and good old fun. Fun fact? It's believed that the Etch A Sketch was used to conceal a state secret in the 1995 film "Toy Story".
