Lincoln did produce approx 1/43 models but did so under the Torro or Micro Models brand names - they may have made others but I'm not sure... what model have you got? Post a photo and I might be able to confirm its origins...mattrove wrote:I understand there was also one 1/43 ish Lincoln model, and if this is right I have it in three warn colours. I also have some of the much later racing cars that are NZ made models from Penny dies.

Hi - sorry for taking so long to respond - I missed this posting until today... your models are Lincoln as shown by the under-side of the roof. At first glance I had thought they were the RARE Lincoln models produced from the Jordan & Lewis River Series dies (see HERE) but they are not - these may have been produced from dies sourced from either the USA or Australia - they are reminiscent of the larger Tootsietoys or even the Brentware/Brentoy models from Australia and I'm putting my money on the latter rather than the former.mattrove wrote:Got the chance to take some photos of the one larger scale Lincoln toys model. There was an article in Model Collector about this casting.
Sorry could not remember how to get the photos smaller and did try and search for photo tips.
Correct Kevin - Goodness knows where my mind was when I did that.... certainly NOT on the job at hand!GHOSTHUNTER wrote:Just a slight misspelling Ian...Jordan & Lewden is what you meant to type.

I'm trying to organise photography sessions with my daughters right now.... one is in the middle of exams and I thought it might take her mind off things for a wee whileGHOSTHUNTER wrote:Well, I remember you telling me what it is like in your Home when it comes to sorting and photographing some models...pretty hectic, so you are forgiven for not having your mind on the job...
