When Jack Pressman established his modest toy company in 1922, he could never have foreseen that it would grow to become one of the most iconic American toy companies. The company achieved its first major success in the 1920s by popularizing Chinese checkers, and it went on to introduce timeless favorites like Rummikub and Tri-Ominos. Today, the Pressman Toy Corporation is still widely recognized for its line of classic board games in eye-catching red boxes, as well as games based on popular TV shows. This centennial history chronicles the growth of the company under the leadership of three successive Pressmans: Jack, his wife Lynn (one of the first female CEOs in the industry), and their son Jim. It reflects the development of the toy industry as a whole, encompassing the rise of plastics, the emergence of character licensing and TV advertising, and the surprising endurance of the physical board game in our digital age. Abundantly illustrated with new color photography as well as rare archival images, this will be an essential volume for anyone with an interest in the history of play.
