NOTE
Ernst Plank & Company started out in 1866 in Nüremberg Germany as a toy-repair shop. Named after the company founder, they made magic lanterns, steam engines, die cast metal planes, boats, cars, steamboats and sewing machines produced from pressed tin plate. At one time it was the second largest manufacturer of magic lanterns. The company was located at Hochfederstrasse 40 in Nüremberg. Plank's toys were notable for their quality, often being ornate in design and more finely finished than other manufacturers of that era.
