The Garton Toy Company was founded by Eusebius Bassingdale in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Garton manufactures sleds, scooters, pedal cars, tricycles, and coaster wagons.[2]

Part or all of the building the Garton Toy Company was housed in was designed by architect William C. Weeks. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[3][4][5] The building has since been converted into an apartment complex by Milwaukee-based Gorman & Company.[6][7]
