Strauss Manufacturing Co.

The Strauss Manufacturing Co. made toys, games and musical novelties; they produced new Teddy Bear designs when the Teddy Bear craze was at his highest.


The so-called toys king from New York, was mainly known for his Self-Whistling Bear from 1907, with a mechanism which was activated when the bear was turned upside down. They also made a musical wind up bear with a turning key on his back.
