Hello everyone  bear_original  bear_original

I have not been active on here these last times, I have been very serious (yes it happens  bear_grin ).I am writing a book of the old french maker FADAP.

I have been far enough to find informations, but today, the ones I am looking for are not easy to get because they could be find in the U.S.A

In fact, in 1954, FADAP worked in collaboration with IDEAL TOY CORPORATION. FADAP made a range of bears and other animals with the American manufacturer technic called "Slush Molding".

FADAP also imported from the USA a wonderful artificial silk (rayon)  pink, yellow and blue colored. I guess, as FADAP was in contact with Ideal Toy Corporation, perhaps, there is a link to follow between Ideal and one of its artificial silk supplier.

I am looking for any information around this. I don't know if a book speaking of the Ideal story has been published, if so I may find some detail to hook up,  let me know where I can buy the book.

Any information are welcome, even the smallest, even the ones that could sound ridiculous, don't hesitate to let me know.

In advance big thank you for your help

Best Wishes

Eric
