Roy Toy was established in the mid 1930's by one of the earliest pioneers in the wooden toy industry, Roy K. Dennison. Roy realized that both children and their parents had an instinctive love for wooden construction sets. This became the inspiration for his classic log building designs, using unique rectangular shaped logs with a tight notching fit that made structures that wouldn't topple easily. The logs were also hand cut for a realistic feel and truly classic look. Roy filled the hearts of children and families with joy and wonder for nearly 30 years, until his death in the 1960's. At that time, the machines stopped and the doors to his factory closed. Roy Toys were nearly forgotten. After nearly 30 years and three generations, Bruce Dennison set out to pick up where his grandfather left off, and the doors to Roy Toy were reopened. The old machines were scattered throughout town, one at an aunt's house, another at an uncle's house. Many were missing motors, others missing shafts and gears, and only a handful of blades were still around. Bruce needed more information to put the 60-year-old puzzle together. How were the pieces cut? How did these aging pieces of equipment work, and could they ever work again? He found the answer among boxes of remaining pieces, pictures, old packaging and an earful of old stories. But there were still many questions left unanswered and it would be over a year before Roy's grandson would put the pieces of the puzzle together. Bruce understood the classic look his grandfather wanted in his log buildings, and wasn't about to change the toys that he remembered. Bruce believed that the key to this classic look was the toy's hand-made character. With this design the logs have the realistic quality and feel that truly captured the classic look his grandfather set out to create. Not only are the logs more realistic, they also fit together more tightly and make structures that are larger than other log building sets. Roy Toy still uses pine logs as before, which are stained with a non-toxic dye, and unlike today's wooden building sets, Roy Toys still have red wooden gables and green, wooden roof planks - no plastic parts. Today's sets are also hand cut, just as they were decades ago by Roy. Top Of Page
