The Rushton Toy Company. The Rushton Company, founded by Mary Rushton, in Atlanta, GA 1917. Her daughter, Wight Rushton, designed the toys. It was a family owned and operated to 1983.

"At-Play" were the most collectible -  made of the finest rayon & plush material, stuffed with clean top grade cotton, eyes were sewed in and did not pull out, and had hand embroidered noses, felt tongues & large satin bows.

1950 - 1960 Rushton's Star Creation toy line was created and was one of the most popular lines they had.  They were hand painted, rubber faced dolls and animals.
