| Summary: |
The Adolph Forster Toy Company, a dealer of foreign toys and dolls, was run by Adolph Forster, a German immigrant who came to Philadelphia some time before 1845. After Adolph's death in 1891, his company was apparently run by his son, William Forster, with help from his brother-in-law, Henry Bauermeister. It is unknown when the company went out of business.
This letterpress book of the toy company contains over 1000 letters written from the company (likely from W. Forster or Bauermeister) to suppliers in Germany, England, and France. |
