Lot 219
It contains 42 pieces and makes multiple animal scenes. Edward Imeson Horsman! Born in 1843 in Brooklyn, New York, Horsman learned the import business at a young age, earning $2.00 weekly while employed by the New York importers Paton & Co. By 1865, at the ripe age of 22, Horsman was in business for himself. By the late 1880s, E.I.H was producing a range of board games and boxed toys, producing such favorites as Tiddlywinks, Trilby, and Jack Straws. However, the E.I. Horsman Company was not primarily a manufacturer. While the E.I.H Company was not the first to produce Teddy Bears, it was the first to coin the phrase, shortening it to its modern form from the previously apostrophized "Teddy's Bears" in 1906. The change obviously stuck! These items, along with the high-quality dolls such at the "Can't Break 'Em!" and "Babyland Rag Dolls" that had been the lifeblood of the company since the 1870s, made a fortune for Horsman, and by the early 1900s the company was selling hundreds of thousands of the items. In addition, E.I.H produced a series of easy-to-use cameras, boasting in advertisements that "A child ten years old can make a picture." Such cameras are rare and highly-sought after collectibles today. Edward Horsman died in 1927 at the age of 83, and while Horsman Company products continued to be produced up until the 1970s, the founder's role and family's involvement with the company ceased with his death.
