Radio Flyer is an American toy company best known for their popular red toy wagon. Radio Flyer also produces scooters, tricycles, bicycles, horses, and ride-ons. The company was founded in 1917 and is based in Chicago, Illinois. Antonio Pasin started building wooden toy wagons in Chicago in 1917, selling them to area shops. His business grew until the Library Coaster Company was formed in 1923. In 1930, the company was renamed Radio Steel & Manufacturing. The renamed company produced steel-bodied wagons and used assembly line manufacturing techniques. The new Radio Flyer wagons were named for Pasin's fascination with radio and with flight. During the Second World War, steel was an essential war material. Therefore, from 1942-1945, the company shifted production to portable five gallon Blitz cans for the US Army. In 1987, Radio Steel changed its name to Radio Flyer after its popular flagship little red wagon. The Radio Flyer Wagon was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame at The Strong in Rochester New York in 1999, and its creator was inducted into the Toy Industry Hall of Fame in 2003. - Function
