This listing is no longer active, but was just wondering if anyone has an idea of, who the manufacturer of this model was?

Re: Any idea who made this?
Hello zBret, its made by 'TOY PRODUCTS' of Walsall, England and marketed as 'ROBIN HOOD' in the U.K. around 1950.
There have been a few of these featured on the older forum we used to use, but not many have been featured hear in our new forum.
The 'ROBIN HOOD' name does not always appear on the model, suggesting it can be found marketed under other 'Brand' names, but you can find MADE IN ENGLAND and 'PAT APP FOR', but what they were 'patenting' I do not know.
The models were part of a small range that included a removal van, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, a U.S. saloon car and a couple of others.
