In the early 1930’s a small toy shop called K-Dee moved to 561 George Street Sydney, from its original home in Chatswood. It was manufacturing its own free-flight and rubber-band-powered balsa model kits, bottling its own glue and “dope” (cellulose lacquer), and it stocked a full range of toys and models.
By 1938 the shop was also selling Hornby & Lionel trains and Meccano sets. A young enterprising manager named Frank Murell joined the company – he was to guide and grow the business with a steady hand until his retirement in 1978.
