There is a very sad and likely very incomplete history of the Doll / Fleischmann transition to be found on Ventix's website.
http://www.ventix-pages.de/fleischmann/html/historie.html
He also includes links to a Trix website that appears to have a very parallel history shown for that company, which seems to include Bing.

Then there is also this highly personalized account from a granddaughter that was written just a couple of decades ago.
https://jewishmag.com/124mag/city-of-toys/city-of-toys.htm
He also has a link to David Curtis's webpage which apparently once held some significant historical information, but with David gone sooooo long now, that link leads nowhere!
Hope this helps some.

Doll & Fleischmann History
This was interesting to read as I had always thought that it was Fleischmann that was the Jewish company.
Does anyone have any deeper in depth links to read?
