Note: The use of Bakelite crib toys for fashion jewelry.

The condition of many of them today attests to that. In the United States, one of the most popular manufacturers was Tykie Toys of Piqua, Ohio, which was in business until the late 1940s. Their designs included a range of little doll characters. Other crib toys designed included bell boys, sailors, soldiers, and black American or African-inspired characters. There was a huge fascination for anything exotic and people from far away, and the craze for jazz meant that black musicians were trendy at the time.
