Maco Toys, Inc., was the name of a popular toy company 〔http://www.mbaskool.com/brandguide/media-and-entertainment/8143-maco-toys.html〕 based in Brooklyn, New York〔http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive/pdf?res=F30812FF3E55127B93C5AB1789D95F478685F9〕 which produced war-themed toys for children in the 1950s and 1960s.〔http://www.toysthrutime.com/browse.asp?id=170〕 Their toys were sold in a catalog that was illustrated by Tony Tallarico and printed by Charlton Comics〔http://comicbookrealm.com/series/36035/314455/maco-toys-comic-issue-1〕which presented itself as a war comic book.〔https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=419261〕 (These toys were also sold in toy stores.) Products included plastic guns (including the M1903 Springfield rifle〔http://user.pa.net/~the.macs/MACO.html〕 and an Army Paratrooper Carbine 〔http://www.antiquesnavigator.com/d-863354/1950%E2%80%99s-maco-toy-company-army-paratrooper-carbine.html〕), grenades, and a plastic Molotov cocktail.

==Anti gun toy controversy==
In 1955, the New York City Council passed a bill to ''ban the manufacture, sale or possession of imitation revolvers that resemble the real article too closely''. In a debate about the measure, an Army .45 caliber automatic manufactured by Maco was used as an example of a toy gun which was similar enough to the real model to be used as a weapon in a robbery.〔http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive/pdf?res=F40A13F7355B167B93C4AB1788D85F418585F9〕
