Amazing Toys of Marvin Glass

This page is dedicated to Marvin Glass (1914-1974). Marvin Glass was an entrepreneur & toy designer. He opened his firm, Marvin Glass & Associates in 1941, a Chicago based toy designing firm. MGA would patent their toys & games & license them to the big toy makers, Ideal, Marx, Kenner, Hasbro, Parker Brothers, Milton Bradley, etc. They would collect a basic fee plus royalties on each item sold.

Marvin Glass's business really took off with the introduction of Mr. Machine in 1960. After that, numerous popular toys - listed below - found it's way into the homes of baby boomers. All of the toys listed below are in my Book, AMAZING TOYS OF MARVIN GLASS. Of course, since my book release in October of 2016, I have found more Marvin Glass toys in my travels. I hope to have them listed in my second edition.

Marvin Glass founded the first independent toy designing firm, which grew to be the largest in the world. He was also the only designer to have his company logo printed on the package. If you come across any of his toys or games , that I don't have listed - don't hesitate to Email Me. thanks! - Joyce Grant
