Tonka

Tonka was founded as Mound Metalcraft, a gardening tools company, in the fall of 1946 in Mound, Minnesota. Their building's former occupant, the Streater Company, had made and patented several toys. E. C. Streater was not interested in the toy business so they approached Mound Metalcraft to make the toys.
