Grandpa's Farm Toys
About us | The lansing company made slik-toys which were simple wooden cars and trucks. During world war II, they made 30,000 toys daily from scraps of wood only 10 to 12 inches long. When the war ended and metal became available again, the lansing company switched to aluminum because it was sturdier than wood. While slik-toys can be found in stores across the country, manufacturing has never left iowa. Information taken from state historical society of iowa. In 1959, norbert spinner (my grandpa) purchased the slik toy name and dies from the lansing company. His company, armor industries, continued to sell the slik toy line to many fine customers throughout the United States until december 31,2002. In march 2003 I reopened the slik toy line business and created grandpa's farm toys. |
