Gama is a German maker of toys, usually cars and trucks, dating from before World War I. The company is headquartered inFurth Bavaria, near Nurnburg, a traditional German toy making center. Gama is the acronym for Georg Adam MAngold, who started the company in Fürth in 1882 making tinplate mechanical toys. Most toy production up through World War II and up until the late 1950s was lithographed tinplate. In the early 1940s, toy tanks were popular and offered in various sizes including 3.5 and 7 inches in length. The destruction of World War II disrupted production as with other German makers such as Märklin and Schuco. In the late 1940s, production was started again under the auspices of the U.S. which controlled this portion of the country. Gama made tinplate or pressed steel trucks of various sizes (8 and 14inch sizes were common), and they were often stamped, \"Made in U.S. Zone Germany\". Which is why the particular toy is part of the earlier era because it is not marked \"Made in the U.S Zone Germany\". Later in the 1960s, Gama went to plastic toys.
