Barton

All items are in the 1/16th scale unless otherwise stated

  • A Barton & Co.(Toys) Ltd started trading officially in 1945, as soon as the war finished. However Mr Barton himself had previously been called up as a full time fireman in 1939 and to alleviate the boredom in between "shouts" during the quiet early stages of the war, along with his fellow colleagues, had begun to make dolls house bits. In fact the famous Hamleys of London asked them to make the wooden seats for a stock of their dolls house Japanese porcelain toilets. They at that time used the trademark PEKO.
  • The first official trademark of Bartons was an ink stamp of a diamond with the letter A B & Co. Then in 1949 this was replaced with a label for a time.
  • Bartons flourished, using other suppliers for certain items eg.Barrett & Son metal items, Grecon Dolls, Kaybot plaster fireplaces & food.
  • For a very rough guide to dating your Barton furniture; card backs were used until mid 1950s, then plywood backs took over mid 50s followed by hardboard from late 1960s; stapled furniture 1960s or later; if chipboard backed then 1965-1971 approx.
  • In 1975 the Caroline's Home Range was brought out.  By now the use of plastic was extensive.
  • In 1984 Barton was bought out by Lundby Ltd.
