The company
history was derived from the sources listed on the right.
There are no primary sources apart for the company name Western Coil &
Electrical Co. It is confirmed by the mark: " Copyright by Coil
& Electrical Co. Racine, Wis." on the boxes or instruction
sheets (for example on the
instruction sheet
of the Martin XB-51 , and on the boxtop).
On some boxes and instruction sheets there is the addition "Toy
Division of" to Western Coil & Electrical Co
Racine, Wis.
There is no date of issue, neither on the boxes, card inlets, nor on
the instruction sheets of the Hobby-Time kits in my
collection.
So I adopt the dates given by Burns and Superczynski. |
