Roy Toy

Roy Rogers's notoriety spurred the production of all sorts of merchandise, from cap guns and lunch boxes to character wristwatches, alarm clocks, and View-Master reels. Today, Roy Rogers is a ubiquitous brand in the vintage-toys landscape.-- adapted from collectorsweekly.com/toys/roy-rogers

 

Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and Trigger,

With good old American vigor,

Sold millions of toys

To girls and to boys

As the franchise grew bigger and bigger.
