R. Bliss Manufacturing Company

R. Bliss Manufacturing Company was originally founded by Rufus Bliss in 1832 in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. He produced wooden screws and clamps for piano and cabinet making that could be made more rapidly and accurately. It is unclear when the company expanded into the toy and game business, but their products were popular for their high quality, beautiful colors and artwork. R. Bliss Manufacturing Company sold their toy making division to Manson & Parker of Winchendon, Massachusetts in 1914. Toys carrying the Bliss name were produced until 1935.
