Barbie 93X66 Boat Fairytopia

Mattel was formed in 1945. Its founders were Ruth and Elliott Handler and Harold "Matt" Matson (Mattel is a combination of Elliott and Matt's names). The company started out in wood products and soon branched out into toys. Their very first toy was dollhouse furniture created from wood scraps left over from frame making. The Handlers bought out Matson long before Barbie was created.
