|  Nat Polk | Irwin and Nat started Polk's Hobby as retailers in New York City in 1935 on Seventh Avenue, but quickly moved to a 5 story building. Each floor represented a different category of the hobby field and was a show case for the industry. They quickly expanded into wholesaling and manufacturing under the name Aristo-Craft Distinctive Minatures. |
In 1980 the building was sold at a peak in the real estate market and we moved to New Jersey to manufacture radio control and large scale trains. This company is a spin off of the original Polk's Model Craft Hobbies just to make radio control boats, planes and r/c sytems using our patented synthesized frequency system LEWIS & MARYANN POLK Lewis, the son of Nat, and his wife, Maryann, continue to operate the business in the tradition of the founder's with the hobbyist first in mind |
