BERGEN/BETON

Many companies copied Bergen products so it is hard to tell who made what between these companies. Here is an example;

The above four hard plastic horses all look pretty much the same. In fact they are all slightly different and marked by four different makers. The black horse is marked AJAX, top gray marked ARCHER, bottom gray marked LIDO and the brown marked BERGEN! It is believed that Bergen (Beton) made the horse first the the rest are all pirated copies. Usually these horses are found in soft plastic and are assumed to be for T. Cohn (Superior) brand cowboys and Indians. These companies obviously shared, stole, or copied some Bergen/beton molds including the Lido/Ajax/T.Cohn small mounted cowboys, Indians and horse see above). In addition Superior was never the name of the T.Cohn Toy company but only used as a slogan or brand.

BERGEN

Bergen sold out in 1958 and by 1959 Banner of East Paterson NJ had the molds or was getting wholesaled the figures in polyethylene plastic. The figures were unpainted and made in bright colors. They sold them in header card bags under their own name, their subsidiary Alden or with no name to be wholesaled to distributors such as William Shaland.

I will list those figures with a makers mark first. BETON = BErgen TOy and Novelty comapany.

ID numbers are from Collecting Toy Soldiers by Richard O'Brien (a great book).

BERGEN/BETON 60mm FOOT COWBOYS AND INDIANS

Bergen made these foot figures first with separate bases as can seen above (note BT24 & 26 in picture are later solid cast based figures. Under the bases they are marked BETON & MADE IN USA. Several paint variations exist for each figure. Due to labor costs the molds were reworked to add bases to the figures (as seen above BT24 & 26).

Figures with solid cast bases

At some point BT 18,19,20 & 24 seem to have been phased out (BT24 first in 1950). Ajax copied the more common six figures and their figures will NOT have a logo under the base. Rel is reputed to have taken over the Bergen line in 1958 but Banner Toys was sell Bergen figures by 1959. Any figure without a logo should be assumed to be made by Ajax. Both the Bergen and Ajax figures can be found in hard plastic both painted and unpainted as well as unpainted soft plastic. SEE AJAX PAGE FOR AJAX AVAILABILITY

MILITARY BERGEN/BETON FIGURES

WWII and Modern Military Figures

Pre 1945 Figures

Pre 1945 figures have oval bases and in our opinion do not quite have the detail as those produced post WWII. In the above picture only the ammo carrier BT4 is marked. Under his base is marked "BETON CARLSBAD NJ USA". The other figures and horses are unmarked unlike those made post WWII. The early trotting horse has a rifle in scabbard on the right and sword in scabbard on the left sides.

Reliable made toy soldiers in Canada that were close copies of the plug in style bergen soldiers. Solid base figures were also copied using the bodies of the above Bergen figures but with the figures wearing the British style "pot" helmet. Plug base figures have a small RP (Reliable products) logo under their base while some of the solid base figures are marked Reliable on their backs. They also copied Auburn figures. The yellow hard plastic figures are still a mystery.

Bergen started using polyethylene plastics before they went out of business, but we think most of the unpainted figures in these pastel and brighter colors came after the molds were run by Banner. REL (Plastic Art Corp) may have bought Bergen out in 1958 but Banner had the Bergen line in their catalog by 1959 and REL seemed to have faded away. Note the fireman's ax head seems to have been deleted at this point.

During WWII Bergen was only allowed to use so much plastic due to the war effort. As they had more business than they could handle they helped Plastic Toy Inc set up operations to help satisfy their own toy demands.

Small Cowboys were sold in small boxed sets. All Plastic Toy Inc. cowboys and Indians, have factory paint on top of base color. We will list base color.
