Children's Album Figurines by Twin Winton Circa 1950

The whimsical line of Childrens' Album Figurines were created in 1950 to look similar to the Hummel Figurines which were very popular. The Children Album figurines did not sell well and subsequently were only produced for about a year to a year and a half. Because so few figurines were produced, they are very rare and difficult to find. I bought many of the Childrens' Album figurines fron Don's personal collection and have been able to find 23 different ones so far. In the "Don Wintons Designs" book by Micael Ellis on page 80 their is a quote from the 1950 LA Times which states ''A real Childrens Album is this endearing series of carefully sculpted figures taken right from childhood". These are my favorite fiurines and if anybody has one that is not pictured on this website please contact me so we could post it here. The first figurine pictured below of a boy with a straw hat, carrying a fish, with his dog, is the logo for the Alberta Molds Company from the early 1950s that Twin Winton sold molds to for over 30 years.
