The Paya Company was founded in 1902 by Rafael Paya.
Four years later Rafael's sons Pascual, Emilio and Vincente built the first toy factory
in Spain and by the 1920s Paya's toys were considered the equal of then great and
famous toy makers to the north.
Not only was Paya quality the equal of Marklin of Germany, but Paya's colors and
imprints were graphically more interesting, precise and bolder.
The 1930s, with Raimundo Paya at the helm, was the time of great expansion.
This was when the famous Bugatti race car was made.
In 1946, Paya once again started making toys.
In 1985, Lino made the decision to remake all of the classic old litho tinplate toys
on a very limited basis.
The production of each was limited to 5,000 (or less) world-wide,
accompanied by their certificates of authenticity.
Of the 2000 toys manufactured by Paya between 1906 to 1940, a total of
50 historic models have been recovered.
