Peter Pan Playthings Ltd was a toy manufacturer based in the United Kingdom, established in 1963. The firm expanded its portfolio by acquiring Salter Science along with additional assets from the receivers of Thomas Salter Ltd. In 1972, it announced a profit of £80,000. The subsequent year, ownership transferred to Berwick Timpo. Later, in 1987, Bluebird Toys purchased the company and maintained the Peter Pan Playthings brand for a number of years thereafter.
