Interesting Glock history....

Glock's Secret Path to Profits - BusinessWeek

I find it amazing that the per unit profit on a Glock is in the vicinity of 68%!

Nintendo had a similar obscure beginning. they started out making playing cards.

Nintendo started as a small Japanese business by Fusajiro Yamauchi near the end of 1889 as Nintendo Koppai. Based in Kyoto, Japan, the business produced and marketed a playing card game called Hanafuda. In recognition of its card-playing roots, the name "Nintendo" means "leave luck to heaven". The cards, which were all handmade, soon began to gain popularity, and Yamauchi had to hire assistants to mass produce cards to keep up with demand.
