We observed our 8th Anniversary Celebration on May 23, 2007 at the New York Transit Museum, in downtown Brooklyn. It was a wonderful event with over 100 people in attendance.
The museum honored Benjamin Kinberg as the very first inductee into our Toy Inventors Hall of Fame. Mr. Kinberg’s career spans three decades of creating and designing toys for all the major toy companies, including Mattel and Hasbro. A James Bond movie sparked the idea of an attaché case filled with all the gadgets a junior spy needs; it turned out to be an outstanding success and was the first of more than 400 licensed inventions.
