Towner Toys advertised their toys as being “good wood toys” with
“action-color-sound.” We were not able to find abundant information
about Towner Toys. What we do know, is that the company was run by Mr.
and Mrs. Towner Phillips. Towner Toys have unique designs and materials.
Most of their toys were designed for smaller children.
