Chad Valley is a British toy company that dates back to the early 19th century. Originally founded as a printing company in Birmingham in the 1860s, they eventually transitioned into toy production, gaining popularity for their high-quality dolls, games, and puzzles. The brand became especially well-known during the 20th century for its well-made, colourful toys, often marketed towards children as educational and entertaining items.

-

In the 1920s, Chad Valley expanded into soft toy production and became one of the main suppliers of teddy bears in the UK. By the 1930s, they held a Royal Warrant to supply toys to the British royal family, which boosted their reputation. During World War II, like many companies, they pivoted to manufacturing for the war effort, but they resumed toy production post-war.

-

Chad Valley produced a variety of toys, including board games, kaleidoscopes, and other novelty items, especially during the 1950s to 1970s. Their toys are often recognizable by vibrant, colourful designs and durable materials. In 1978, the company was acquired by Palitoy, which was later sold to Woolworths. Today, the brand is owned by Sainsbury's in the UK, where Chad Valley products are still available, although the designs have modernized. Vintage Chad Valley toys are collectable items valued for their historical significance and nostalgia.
