Glico is a Japanese maker of confectionery. It was founded in 1922 by Ezaki Riichi (江崎利一), and began to give free toys together with some products in 1927. These give-away toys included cameras in the 1950s and 1960s, notably the Glico Hit-type camera, and the Glico lighter camera and Glico pistol camera.
