Humpday Triviola

This is the time of year when many will think of these wood products. The well know company was started in 1884. But it wasn't until 1957 when they developed their best known wood product. They aren't the only makers of them and weren't the first, but certainly the best known.
Who are they and what is their product?
T.
Stanley transitionals, which some say ...
Larry Barrett
are only good for bonfires.
Maybe not, since some pre-date 1884.
Not a tool.
Does it do best in snow? First guess
Gary Smyth
is Flexible Flyer. If not, give us some sort of broad category -- is it the current holiday exclusive, a unique specialty business, seasonal or a product used year round?
Not it...first hint
Thomas Skaggs, Foothills of Mount Level
This is a foreign born company whose famous name is an anacronym.
Second Hint

Many of these will be found under Christmas trees, as they have been for half a century.

Answer

Gary gets a Golden Uni for Christmas for knowing the answer of Brio wooden trains. Although BRIO was started in 1884 by the "BRothers Ivarsson of Osby", Sweden, they didn't start making wooden trains until 1957.
Thanks for playing!
