BAYKO's First Advert - December, 1934
'British Plastics and Moulded Products Trader'
Well, this is definitely the first 'meaty' mention of BAYKO I've been able to find anywhere! |
The publication title is something of a mouthful, but, "it does what it says on the tin" - it was the leading trade publication of its day for the UK plastics trade. |
This advert perhaps says more about the [then] still-youthful plastics industry than it does about BAYKO, but it is non-the-less nice, and perhaps significant, to see the enthusiasm with which The BAKELITE Company viewed this latest innovation. |
This advert graced page 280 of the December 1934 edition, 2 months ahead of the mention in 'Games & Toys', the UK's leading publication for the toy trade. |
This isn't the only occasion on which BAKEKITE used BAYKO within one of their adverts... |

BAKELITE Materials solve Present Problems. |
"Bayko" building bricks are a new application of BAKELITE Moulding Materials. An application which has an educational value, should give hours of happiness to children. With a "Bayko" set it is possible to erect a large variety of model buildings - houses, garages, forts, etc. |
These bricks will withstand rough handling in the nursery, and by reason of their excellent design should create a sense of beauty and proportion in the young mind. |
"Bayko" Light Constructional Sets are manufactured from BAKELITE Moulding Materials by the Plimpton Engineering Co. Ltd., of Liverpool. |
I guess this also means we now know who supplied Plimpton Engineering with their raw materials. |
