Description
Wyandotte is an enchanting brand, well-cherished among vintage toy enthusiasts. Specializing in pressed steel toys, with a product range that spans from cars and aircraft to firearms, you name it, they've crafted it! The brand is largely revered for its detail-oriented work and the sheer durability of the toys. They say "old is gold," and Wyandotte is a testament to that with its enduring survival in the collector's market.
Wyandotte's history is an inspiring tale of humble beginnings. All Metal Products Company, known for the Wyandotte Toys, was started in 1920 in Wyandotte, Michigan by George Stallings and William F. Schmidt. Originally creating household utensils, they ventured into toy manufacturing during the 1929 Great Depression as a necessity for survival. Turns out, it was a golden move that established Wyandotte as a reputable producer of steel-made toys. Fun fact: The legendary 'Wyandotte Eagle' pistol was among the first toys that used zinc alloy, which symbolises the brand's constant quest for innovation.
