The Anchor Buggy Company (written as Anchor Buggy Co.) was a short-lived American automobile manufacturer in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The company produced the Anchor Buggy high wheeler in 1910 and 1911.[citation needed]
History
[edit]
The Anchor Buggy Co. was founded between 1886 and 1887 by Alfred F. Klausmeyer and Anthony G. Brunsman.[1][2]
An 1890 advertisement for the Anchor Buggy Company featured the "My Wife and My Mother-in-Law" optical illusion; when viewed one way the image looked like a young woman, when viewed another way the image looked like an old woman.[3]
Anchor Buggy and Carriage Company
[edit]In 1958, Samuel W. Levinson, founder of the Stuart Manufacturing Company– that made children's night lights and toys– retired from his company, and established another one called the Anchor Buggy and Carriage Company.[4]
From 1958 to approximately 1964, the company created exact miniature plastic carriage models based on the carriages and buggies made by the original Anchor Buggy Company. Levinson had acquired permission from Anchor in 1935 to use their name.[5]
