| Most popular items
from the company were the slip-cast earthenware sculptures of various
animals; horses, dogs, cats, mice, coyotes, giraffes, owls, ducks and more.
Through the years Freeman-McFarlin figurines were produced in a wide variety
of colored glazes, so it is a fertile field for collectors. The company also
employed free-lance designers, including Kay Finch who produced new designs
for the company from the mid-1960s to the late seventies.
Early production took place at the El Monte factory,
and in 1968 a second plant was added in San Marcos. In the late sixties Gerald
McFarlin sold his interest in the company. Freeman sold the remainder of
the company to International Multifoods in 1972. In 1975 the El Monte factory
closed and operations were consolidated at the San Marcos plant. Hagen-Renaker
acquired all operations in 1980.
