L.L. Knickerbocker Company


The Knickerbocker Toy Company was founded around 1850 in Albany, New York, and initially manufactured educational toys. The first Teddy bears attributed to Knickerbocker are from around 1925, when the company started to use permanent labels.

The unusual name "Knickerbocker" was derived from a nickname for the citizens of New York – a reference to the baggy trousers the original Dutch settlers wore.

In 1968 the company relocated to Middlesex, New Jersey, but by the end of the 1980s the company had closed down.
