Stuart Sets

The Stuart Manufacturing Company produced approximately 45 Western sets from 1953 to 1969. Some of these sets had a series. Shown here are some samples of the diversity of Stuart packaging. Some sets have the 1960s logo (asteric) and others the 1950s logo (diamond). Figure and accessory assembling into packages had to be done by hand. Complete packaged and boxed sets are hard-to-find, rare or non-existent today. Stuart promotional ads did not appear in color until the 1960s line.
