Here's the very first toy Processed Plastic Company ever produced. It's the #100 Dump Truck that began rolling off their the assembly line in the spring of 1948. This photograph is from the company's archives. The sides of truck are marked City Sand and Gravel Co. It was produced in several color combinations of red, yellow and blue. Olive drab was used in 1952 and the Army dump truck was born.
While this vehicle was never the most popular amongst avid collectors, it remains the most significant of them all. It symbolizes founder Ross Bergman's idea and dream of making affordable, high quality toys that would excite and stimulate the imagination of children. And he certainly succeeded as we continue to acknowledge his achievements some 67 years later.

While we're on the subject of beginnings, the first product TimMee Toys ever rolled off the assembly line was a set of cowboys. One was given to an employee's nephew who immediately fell in love with it. His name was Timmy.
