Corgi,
one of Britain's best known brands, has been producing models for over
40 years. The
Corgi brand was created by the Mettoy Company of Northampton which first
started to produce colourful, pressed metal toys in the 1930s. The name
Corgi (after the Welsh dog) was chosen for three reasons: first, because
it was short and catchy; secondly because the models were to be produced
in Swansea and thirdly because of its status in being strongly
association with the Royal Family. The first Corgi models appeared in 1956 |
