Welcome
to Ginny's play house!
She decorated for Halloween
and chose The Three Bears theme
1956 Molded lash walker Ginny doll wearing
#6071 complete Vogue formal
and my Goldilocks paper mask
Ginny removed her mask to show you
that as Goldilocks she also
resembles the girl pictured
on her Modern Toys tin fridge
She had fun making the printables
The
three bears are seated around a Strombecker table
The colorful wooden teapot ,bowls, and mugs
with saucers are vintage by Borgfeldt.
The pieces are larger in scale
than the wooden Playtown miniatures.
The tiny cups and saucers are plastic
and made by Allied.
The steak and hotdog on the table are plastic
extras from a 60's set called Dolly Foods
The little etched jelly type drinking glasses
on the blue carousel and red spice tray (above far left)
are retired miniatures by Re-ment
The tender with a light blue top and decal pic below
is of unknown origin and so adorable
The decal on the back of the seat
is a little bear holding a candlestick
and a tiny bear
The little white porcelain baby dishes
are marked "Bear Family"
Some of the wooden toy Borgfeldt pieces
had very tiny decals.
Three Borgfeldt plates under the baby tender
show two duck decals and
a baby duckling in the center
On Ebay I found a photo of a Borgfeldt set
similar to mine. (see below)
Researching the Borgfeldt company,

Questions
and Answers
George Borgfeldt & Company (1881-1962),
also known as Geo. Borgfeldt Corporation and Nifty Trade Mark Toys,
was headquartered in New York City.
From 1928 to 1935, Borgfeldt had a license with Walt Disney
to manufacture children’s toys featuring Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
[See:http://www.antiquetoycollections.info/products.asp?cat=43]
A second source indicates that Roy Disney
signed the contract for Disney merchandising
with Borgfeldt on February 3, 1930.
[See: http://www.bonanza.com/listings/1930s-
DISNEY-GEORGE-BORGFELDT-MICKEY-MOUSE-PLATE-2/4089329].
Borgfeldt spent considerable sums fighting those
infringing
upon his licenses.
Initially, Borgfeldt contracted with foreign manufacturers
to produced his licensed products.
Eventually, Borgfeldt used American manufacturers
such as J. Chein and Company.
George Borgfeldt & Company became financially insolvent in 1933.
Its stock was liquidated.
George and Fred Kola reorganized the company
as the Geo. Borgfeldt Corporation.

Ginny
found extra bears and this one
is seated in a vintage Strombecker high chair
with original bunny decal and
more of the Bear family dishes
Ginny
loves her vintage 1940's Red Robin wardrobe
The trademark robin is peeking out
near the bottom of the door
The plastic animals form a colorful boarder
The see-saw is marked "Teddybearstory"
in a half circle surrounding a bear face
My
best guess is that this vintage swing
was factory made
and possibly by Kohner
The finish and rounded edges at the top remind me
of pieces I have seen by that company.
This was most likely made
for 8 inch Ginny type dolls
If you don't have Halloween masks,
you can make these below!
One swell guy who called to ask
Spooky Ginny to see a movie!
