NEWTON & THOMPSON

Newton& Thompson was established in 1856. By 1938 they were making toys and continued until at least 1948. Their toy factory was in Brandon, Vermont. The company made a variety of pull toys, wood turned parts, golf tees, clothes pins, girls play sets, ring toss games, bowling games, and novelties. They marketed their toys under "The Rainbow Line".

The following photo selection of their toys illustrates some of their pull toy offerings. Some of their "Farm Products" line is shown here.
