It was founded by John Wesley Williams, the father of A. However, there was a big fire at the company, and a decision was made to move to Ravenna. Actual production started there in 1893. Like the other famous cast iron companies of the time (Hubley, Dent, Kilgore, Arcade, Kenton), A. Williams manufactured cast iron cars and trucks. From 1893 to 1923 they produced cast-iron horse-drawn rigs, autos, airplanes, penny banks, and tractor toys; the line included mostly miniatures distributed through Woolworth, Kresge`s, and other five-and-dime stores. They even produced some tin cars towards the end of the company’s relatively long history. Unfortunately, in 1938 they closed their toy production and continued in other ventures to this day.
