New to the Collection: 

Meet "Jack the Kicking Donkey!"  Jack is from about 1926, made by the All Fair Toy Company.  Herman Fisher was the Vice President of the company, until he left to form the Fisher Price Toy Company in the early 1930's.  I was excited to come across the original advertisement for Jack.
I especially love the last line..."It is a demonstrated fact that the kicking donkey is the most ingenious toy produced in years."

Jack the Kicking Donkey c. 1926
