Brand record
Walbert Manufacturing
Walbert Manufacturing Co. was an American toy maker based in Chicago. A specialist directory lists the company among manufacturers of the 1900s and identifies its products as toy ships. This places the maker in the early twentieth-century toy trade and distinguishes it from the Philadelphia toy-train business described in earlier accounts.

The story of Walbert Manufacturing
Walbert Manufacturing Co. appears in the early twentieth-century American toy trade. The Antique Toy Collectors of America directory places the company in Chicago and dates its activity broadly to the 1900s. It identifies the firm's products as toy ships. The available record therefore points to a maker of ship toys rather than the Philadelphia O-gauge train producer described in earlier accounts; more specific production milestones and company dates remain undocumented here.
