Crescent Toys were founded by Henry G Eagles and Arthur A Schneider in 1922 in North London. Manufacturing hollowcast figures, repeating the cycle that a lot of toy companies had seen before/after World War One, Crescent originally focused most of their efforts into making military-themed figures (with the occasional farm set) but in the aftermath of the Second World War they found that interest in these had dropped, and began a transition to the production of more civilian-focused toys.
In 1948 the firm opened a “modern factory” near Newport, Wales and began diecast production there two years later.
However as with many other primarily hollowcast figure manufacturers in the 1960’s, the lead toys that initially made them popular were slowly phased out.
