1950's Dolly Toy Co. Hey Diddle Diddle 230 Mother Goose Pin-Ups Tipp City, Ohio

Description

H.B. Holtvoight started Dolly Toy in Dayton in 1923 as The Dolly Folding Kite Company. He was later joined in the business by his sons, Hubert G. Sr. and John, as well as his daughter, Mildred.
However, the kite business didn't prosper, so in an attempt to bolster profits the company started making toys out of laminated box board. These toys proved successful and in 1929 the business became The Dolly Folding Kite and Toy Company.
At the end of World War II one of Dolly's artists, Phil Riley, designed a new kind of wall decoration for nurseries and children's rooms, and the popular Mother Goose Pin-Ups were born.
Hey Diddle, Diddle!
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such fun,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
