NOW FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE… LIDO JUMBO UNBREAKABLE DOMINOES INDOOR / OUTDOOR 28pcs ORIGINAL BAG AND HANG CARDARE PRESENT PACKAGE IS OPENED OTHERWISE GOOD EACH PIECE IS ABOUT 3" X 2" -------------------------------------------- FYI -------------------------------------------- LIDO Lido was a US firm started by two brothers named Arenstein in 1947. According to O'Brien's book on Collecting Domestic Toy Soldiers, it was an independent firm until it was sold in 1964. Since then its molds changed hands many times. In the mid 70s one of the brothers bought back the surviving molds and resumed production under the name Joy Toy which survived until 1990. In the recent years they were owned by Processed Plastic and the Lido figures were sold under the Tootsie Toy brand. In 2005 they went out of business and it is not known to me who owns the molds at this time. In terms of WWII Toy soldiers they are probably best known for their 60mm GIs, however they also produced some 54mm sets, such as German and Japanese Infantry. The Japanese in particular are very rare and expensive. From O'Briens book Collecting Toy Soldiers 3rd ed. we learn that; Lido was formed in 1947 by the nephews (Seymour Effrem Arenstein) of William Shaland the biggest importer of toys in the country. 1964 Lido was sold to Bala 1965 Bala liquidated remains bought by Gabriel all but 50 molds melted 1973 Seymour Arenstein bought the 50 molds and started JOY TOY 1990 Joy Toy sold to Strombecker Strombecker owned Tootsie Toy which is why you see ex Lido GIs and large swivel cowboys and Indians in Tootsie Toy header bags.
