"Playtime" is a 16 by 20 oil on panel painting of the famous Mercury Wagon that many children had growing up in the USA. Here is the history of the company that built the Murray wagon:
J. W. Murray founded the Murray Ohio Manufacturing Company in 1919. Its first products, fenders and gas tanks, were purchased by automobile manufacturers. In 1923, Murray introduced its Steelcraft Steel toy line that featured juvenile vehicles such as pedal cars and wagons. During the Depression, Murray expanded its line to include bicycles.
During the 1930s, Murray assigned a variety of names to its wagons – Murray, Playboy, Speed Boy, Silver Streak, and Steelcraft. Murray also produced individual brand products for stores and catalog manufacturers such as Sears, Roebuck, and Company and for toy wholesalers. This policy continued in the post-World War II period.
Murray hired Viktor Schreckengost as an industrial designer. While there is no direct proof he is responsible for the design of the Murray-type wagon, its streamline appearance suggests his influence.
In the mid-1950s, Murray moved its operations from Cleveland, Ohio, to Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. Production began in Lawrenceburg in 1956. In 1998, Murray was acquired by Tomkins PLC. The ownership of the company changed several times in the 1990s. Bicycle production ceased in 1999. On September 30, 2005, when the Lawrenceburg plant closed, it was producing lawn mowers.
He is also known for his pet portraits by commission (send message). Custom Framed
