Jaymar Specialty Company
Brooklyn, New York
1920’s – 1990
Louis Marx’s father, Jacob Marx along with Jacob’s other son, David,
and daughter, Rose, founded Jaymar Specialty Company. Marx and Jaymar
were created to go hand in hand with Jaymar producing wooden toys while
Marx used metal and tin. Jaymar Specialty Company is known for their
line of comic character wood jointed figures they produced in the
1930’s until the 1950’s and also for some very unique and colorful
Disney toys. In 1946, Louis Marx Company started operations in Japan and
by 1952, had factories in ten countries. We believe that is also when
Jaymar started utilizing low cost overseas manufacturing. Some of
Jaymar’s toys are also marked with name MarJay. Jaymar Specialty
Company, still family owned, continued production in the United States
and overseas until they closed their doors in 1990.
Fun Fact: Some confuse Linemar with Jaymar. Louis Marx Company owned the
Linemar label, which were used for his low cost, mostly plastic, Hong
Kong produced toys. |
