From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TIMPO figures: Crusaders

Timpo Toys Ltd. was a British toy company created in 1938 by Salomon[1] "Sally" Gawrylovitz (born in Frankfurt 1907, died September 28, 2000, in Zug, Switzerland), also known as Ally Gee.[2][3]

History

[edit]

A Jewish refugee from Germany, Gawrylovitz started as Toy Importers Company known as TIMPO in 1938. The company manufactured various toys out of wood, bakelite and composition until the end of World War II.[4]

Following the war, Timpo made hollowcast metal toy soldiers; with soldiers manufactured in plastic from 1954.

The firm ceased operations in 1978.

Timpo Toys series

[edit]
American frontier series – Cowboys
American frontier series – Native Americans

Knight series – Crusaders: The swords, reins and the horse blanket are replicas

The assortment of Timpo Toys consisted of several figurine series, with the American frontier series and the Knight series forming the core of the product range. Since Timpo further developed the series in the course of production, some series could be divided into generations (e.g. there are four generations within the Cowboy series).
