Wonder Products Company of Collierville, Tennessee, a manufactur...er of wooden rocking horses in the 1940s, is credited with creating the first spring rocking horse. Wonder rocking horses had molded plastic bodies suspended by four strong springs from a tubular metal frame.The success of the Wonder rocking horse quickly drew imitators. In 1949 Rich Toys introduced its own line of plastic spring suspension rocking horses. Sales volume showed continual growth through 1952. Rich Toys’ success caught the attention of the Wonder Products Company who filed a patent infringement suit against Rich Toys. The lawsuit stretched out over several years. In August 1957, Wonder Products’ patent rights were sustained, forcing Rich Toys to reach a settlement that included a damage payment and a licensing royalty agreement of 10% of the jobber price to Wonder Products for all suspension rocking horses made by Rich Toys. In 1959 the royalty payment was lowered to 5%.In 1964 Wilson Sporting Goods Company purchased Wonder Products Company, primarily for its custom-molding equipment. Within a short period of time, Wilson’s Wonder Products plant was producing custom-molded parts for baseball and football protective equipment, e.g., shin guards for baseball catchers and face masks for football helmets. Wonder Products also continued to make spring rocking horses throughout the 1960s and into the early 1970s.Wonder Products produced a wide variety of spring rocking horses.
