Bing
Bing was a German toy company founded in 1863 in Nüremberg by two brothers, Ignaz and Adolf Bing. Originally producing metal kitchen utensils they are best remembered for extensive lines of model trains and live steam engines. In the early 20th century Bing was the largest toy company in the world. Although Bing produced numerous toys it is best remembered for toy trains and live steam-powered toys. Bings first trains hit the market in early 1880’s.
