Kellermann CKO
Nuremberg
1910 – 1979
Founded in 1910 by Georg Kellermann, his son Willy joined him in 1924 and succeeded him in 1931. CKO specialised in the manufacture of penny toys and then mechanical toys. Until 1935, production was mainly geared towards exports; from 1940, CKO devoted itself to the war effort. CKO resumed production in 1946 with the indication ‘U.S. Zone’, until 1948. Around 1954 the logo was changed (CKO in a square) and the toys were labelled ‘Made in Western Germany’. CKO ceased trading in 1979.
