While this toy resembles toy locomotives made by George W. Brown of Forestville, CT, the embossed decoration, in particular, suggests that it was made by another, possibly related company. A number of tin manufacturers operated within two counties - Hartford and Middlesex - and many designs were common to several toy companies (See Publications).
