 REMCO Walkie Talkie Toy - Cat# AF-D-1001







Every Boy Wants a Remco Toy...And So Do Girls!
This Communication Phone toy was a part of the Radio Station Set by Remco in the 1950's. 12" tall, hard plastic working radio station features telegraph click, two way speaking phones, revolving searchlight, and automatic decoder, supposedly up to 1/2 mile!


 Remco was a toy company founded in the 1940s that was best known for toys marketed and sold in the late 1950s and 1960s, like the Johnny Reb Cannon and Mighty Matilda Atomic Aircraft Carrier. The slogan was "Every Boy Wants a Remco Toy...And So Do Girls!". Remco was founded by two cousins: Ike Heller and Saul Robbins. The name Remco comes from the two words "Remote Control". In the mid-1960s, Remco acquired several licenses for popular culture acts such as the Beatles, Monkees, Munsters, Lost in Space and Batman. - wikipedia
