The history of the company begins in 1959 when Sam Rosenberg set up his own business before retiring. At the age of 59, he founded the S. Rosenberg Christmas company, importing Christmas and Easter souvenirs and dolls from Japan. However, in April 1963 his son-in-law Stanley Geller became the new owner of the company. He renamed the company Funworld Easter Unlimited and began working with factories in Japan, followed by Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
The main designer of the company in the 1970s-1980s was S. Lehman, whose name is often stamped on the back side of the decorations. Also, the signature includes the country of manufacture – China and trademarks, for example, “© FUN WORLD DIV CARLE PLACE N.Y., “© S. LEHMAN”. Made of hard plastic, handpainted with the use of glitter and acrylic, the pins are considered collectible. Noteworthy, most of these sweet decorations come in a gift box ready for gift giving or keeping.
