1939 - 1950s
Skatin' Toons was a record label established in 1939 by Charles H. Stoll, who operated under the pseudonym Allen Strow. Initially based in Malvern, New York, the company later relocated to Smithtown Branch, New York. During the 1940s, Skatin' Toons specialized in producing music for ice and roller skating, issuing ten records and a one-hour tape recording each month. Their first advertisement appeared in the December 1942 issue of "Skating" magazine.
In March 1953, the company was acquired by Wally Kiefer, a former ice skating rink operator and the sales and office manager for Skatin' Toons since 1948. As skating associations and the International Skating Union began distributing skating music themselves, Skatin' Toons became obsolete and eventually ceased operations.
Regarding the company's address, it was located in Smithtown Branch, New York.
