DESCRIPTION
Remco Industries, Inc. was a new jersey toy company founded in the 1940's that was best known for toys marketed and sold in the late 1950s and 1960's, like the 'Johnny Reb Cannon', 'Mighty Matilda Atomic Aircraft Carrier' and the 'tethered Electronic Falcon Plane' that "flies itself". The company's slogan was "Every Boy Wants a Remco Toy... And So Do Girls!".

In the mid-1960s, Remco acquired several licenses for popular culture groups and TV shows ("the munsters", "lost in space") and proceeded to make a variety of toys. in 1964, the company jumped on the beatleMANIA band-wagon by acquiring licensing rights from brian epstein's nems enterprises, and produced the incredibly popular beatles rubber "hair dolls". THIS NEWSPAPER AD FOR THE REMCO DOLLS IS FOR WOOLWORTH'S DEPARTMENT STORE, BOASTING THEIR PHRASE "WOOLWORTH'S IS YOUR BEATLES HEADQUARTERS":

IT APPEARS THAT ALL FOUR DOLLS HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED FROM THEIR BOXES AND EACH REMAIN SHINY AND DISPLAY A VIBRANT GLOSSY SHEEN. EACH DOLL IS APPROXIMATELY 5" TALL WITH ROOTED HAIR AND APPROPRIATE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT STRAPPED AROUND THE NECK.
