TIN CARS

[icollectlesney]

Hi,

I just recently purchased these 4 cars and have absolutely no idea about year or brand ? Can anyone help ? Are they valuable ?

Thank you in advance

Hi ICL.

The Yellow plastic truck with a tinplate rear section was made by 'JIMSON' of Hong Kong as a crude copy of the similar trucks by 'BRIMTOY' in their pocketoy range.

The Fire Dpt truck appears to be a Child's toy as oposed to a model/toy and may well have been designed for use on a track between basic buildings. Made by...we don't know that one, sorry!

The sleek Blue and Green saloon car is from 'GTP' based in Wales and part of a range of similalarly made vehicles. We have a link here somewhere that has a detailed History of this company.

The Red and White Fire Chief car is from 'MF TOYS' in China and is part of a huge range of similar vehicles.

None are particlarly valuable because of the condition, but the early Jimson BREAD Truck is the harder to find model, so for me the more interesting item you have.

Thank's for showing them on the forum.

GTP vehicles are, in my opinion, scarce. http://toysnz.com/GlamToyProducts lists those I'm aware of so far and gives a bit of history... http://toysnz.com/search-page?keys=glam lists those I've managed to catalogue on my site so far.
