Lone Star
Die-casting Tools Ltd, Palmers Green, London Founded by A R
Mills & S H Ambridge producing toy soldiers from 1953 till 1970 under the
trade name Lone Star. After this period marketing was taken over by Crescent
Toys. This
arrangement ended in 1980 with Die-cast machine Tools buying Crescent
Toys, but this failed with the company going bankrupt in 1983.
The
Company was again relaunched under the name of Lone Star Toys Ltd
