[mike]

I have this plastic Caterpillar by 1, - Euro bought in ebay.
The model has the size of a matchbox 8a Caterpillar.
Also interesting is the crimped axles.

Please, for information about this model
Thank you Mike.

Hi Mike
I did not find much information...but seems this model was made in Hong Kong in the 1960s
They apparently also made a model of one of your favorite vehicles

The original IMP International Model Products, company was founded in Japan after the war from 1949-1962. They made brass model railroad, rolling stock and accessories. http://www.binnsroad.co.uk/railways/imp/index.html

It would appear the Hong Kong manufacturer picked up the name.
