Items created by Phillip Segal, are highly sought after among vintage toy collectors. Segal began producing toys in 1938, but his early work was halted when wartime restrictions banned the use of lead. Although he resumed production after the war, his career was cut short by his early death in 1951, meaning his toys were only produced for a brief period.
