I've been seeing construction trucks and other toys by Gabriel come up in seller's listings on Ebay and other sites come up frequently. I have never heard of the brand before.

Could someone give me a background and history of the brand?

I can't add to those sources, but I do know Gabriel has been around for some time, I know they were advertised when I was a kid, at least the early 70s.
