"Edward Imeson Horsman (E. I. Horsman) opened a toy company in New York city, NY USA (1865-present) and became a leader in the toy industry. In 1930 the Horsman company acquired the Louis Amberg & Son doll company, their competitor and continued to produce some of Amberg's dolls notably the Vanta Baby. In October 1933 Horsman was purchased and became a subsidiary of the Regal Doll Manufacturing Company. By the 1980s the Horsman name was sold to an Asian company which produced dolls under the name Horsman Ltd., that are today made in Hong Hong, China." (Doll Reference)
