Vintage Escor horse pull-along on wheels
£29.00
Traditional hand-carved and hand-painted authentic Escor folk art horse on wheels. Made in England in the 1950s. Escor Toys produced brightly painted wooden toys, often with a transport or fairground theme. Their pullalong toys were recommended by experts in the importance of play in child development not only for their bright finish, but also because of the educational advantage of their three play functions (pullalong, fitting and representational), important at different stages of development.

PRODUCT INFO
Escor Toys was formed in 1938 to manufacture wooden children's toys.Edward Seaton Corner of Bransgore, Dorset, visited the British Industries Fair in 1936 and was struck by the lack of British-made toys. He ‘felt there must be a market for something original and in 1937 exhibited the wooden toys he had been making in the garage at his home, under the name ESCOR, taken from his own name E.S. Cor(ner). The buyer for Hamleys, London was taken by what he had made and gave him his first order. By 1947, Escor was based at Purewell, Christchurch.Escor remianed in the family until 1972 when ownership passed to Mark, the Earl of Ronaldshay. In the mid 1990s, the council took on full ownership,and then it closed when Bournemouth council ceased funding for the business in 2013.
