Cragstan/T hybrid:
From Ebay 2011 We bought this battery operated plastic toy boat at an antique store in North Carolina. The box says Cragstan battery operated Cabin Cruiser, but the boat has a T in a circle on it. We are not sure what to make of that.

I would like to thank Arto for his earlier and excellent research into T in a Circle model numbers, to which I have added to create this list. Pictures courtesy of Arto, Ferryman, Woodsy, Vectis, Alphadrome, Toy Cellar and Ebay. Woodsy. PS. If there are any missing please let me know.
FOOTNOTE: There is 'another' T in a Circle Company, MARUTOMO of Japan, who made ceramic jam jars and similar. There is some interesting information here about their logo (see MARUMON about half-way down). Good example here.

T Footballers
T Celluloid Footballer Dolls from the 1940s era that are in the shape of a football player. Each has a little loop on the head so must have been some kind of ornament of some kind. Maybe a Christmas ornament, not sure. Each is embossed on the back - JAPAN with a T in a circle symbol logo. One is a number 3 and one is a number 5 player. Really outstanding condition with great details. Each is 4 1/2 inches tall (Ebay US 2010).
This is a hard to find, early Disney celluloid T toy figure of Minnie Mouse, 1930’s era. She’s in as found, unrestored condition & will need restoration or good for parts. Her head is off the body & needs to be re-strung (someone attempted to glue it to the body & there is some residue on base of head). Small dent to her forehead & sorry to say, is missing 1 ear – no hole in her head as ears were factory applied. Her arms are loose & need stringing to be tightened up – no breaks or other damages, she’s complete with string tail. Made in Japan & marked on back with logo T in a circle, Minnie Mouse is 5” high. Ebay US 2010.
