Little is known about this company at this time, from the extant sample (jobbed
in 1966) in the authors collection and the title, it seems clear enough that HKMC were a marketing co-operative for
several smaller, probably nameless or Chinese-named Hong Kong toy makers. They
registered a US office/partner in 1968 under California's due restriction,
whether this means they concentrated on selling to Western US sales territories
or not is too-much speculation!
The
address of the company has also been demolished and replaced with a taller
building also called Hing Wai.
