DescriptionThe Proll Company's line of toy musical instruments used plastic free reeds to make playing easy and marketed toys with characters from both Warner Bros. and Walt Disney.
In the early-mid twentieth century, the use of plastic made this, and other, children's toys both durable and inexpensive. Molded plastic components simplified manufacture.
