CADACO Toys

Description

Seventy years isn't ancient by most standards…but it is in the toy business! We're proud to say CADACO is one of America's oldest toy and game companies, and certainly one of the most colorful. To this day, we remain a family owned company, and look back fondly on the trials and successes that have made us what we are today.

It all began in 1935, when Donald Mazer, a sports enthusiast and game lover, and Charles Berlsheimer, a businessman and investor, teamed up to form their own game company. They called the company "CADACO," an acronym for "Charles and Don and Company." Their first office was modest: a rented garage in San Leandro, California.

FOTO WORLD was Cadaco’s first game. Though it sold less than 2,000 pieces, the little company forged on with Elmer Layden's SCIENTIFIC FOOTBALL, released in 1936. Layden was the athletic director for Notre Dame at the time. After that came TOUCHDOWN (reflecting Mazer's fondness for football), followed up with later versions called VARSITY and ALL AMERICAN FOOTBALL.
