Line 3: ==History== Originally named Spielzeugfirma Schreyer & Co, the company changed its name to the more succinct Schuco in 1921 (likely a derivation of '''Sch'''reyer '''u'''nd '''Co'''mpany).; see (Knox 2002, p. 4; Rixon 2005, p. 64). When the company started in 1912, it made unique clockwork tin toys (Johnson 1998, p. 210). Some of these toys were clever in that one would wind an arm or another feature instead of a key (King 1986, p. 173). In the 1920s it introduced its famous Pick-Pick bird (over 20 million were made up until the 1960s). A wind-up mouse, a dancing mouse and trotting dog wearing a cape were other popular offerings (King 1986, p. 173). Before World War II there were also a number of 'gnome'-like wind-up figures and soldiers sometimes called blacksmiths - and done in creative colorful attire. Line 58: King, Constance Eileen. 1986.
