Crandall Toys
Special | 1m
Wooden toys seem simple now, but in 1866, a toy maker used a revolutionary new design.
In 1866, Charles Martin Crandall began making toys at his furniture factory in Montrose, Pennsylvania. Crandall’s first toy was a set of toy building blocks that utilized a new system of interlocking tongues and grooves. Later, in Waverly, NY, Crandall created one of the most popular toys of his time, "Pigs in Clover".
