Hello.

Here is my only Robin Hood car.

I've seen it as Robin Hood Crescent in a RR dedicated database and mine has even a collector label showing Crescent.

But just let's go for pictures of this Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith...
It's a 1948 mazak toy.

Just a few notes for this model as it is a very interesting model with a complicated back story and several versions are known to exist.

'ROBIN HOOD' seems to be a 'Range' name the same as Corgi Toys is a range name used by Mettoy-Playcraft.
'Toy Products Ltd' seem to be the actual manufacturer, which is why the 'TP Series' (Toy Products), is printed on the boxes.

Ian at 'ToysNZ' has done some sterling research here...http://toysnz.com/ToyProducts-RobinHood

of the cars in the range I have the Bentley 2 door coupe with 'CC' letters cast to the underside of the front bumper (Crescent Company!), but NO Robin Hood.

Thanks for the promotion Kevin... I personally have not come across any reference to the ""CC" letters cast on the bumper nor have I found any discussion or suggestion that there may be a "Crescent" connection...

What a cool old toy, I really like he look of that.

Hi all,
I really do like that! Never seen one before.

Toy products did two versions of the rolls royce,one clockwork the other a push toy,both my examples are poor,heres some old photos i had stored,the other photos of the rest of the range again are old photos ,this is not the complete range,the other models i know about are a low back truck which thanks to Ewan i have now somewhere, and there is a larger truck that came has an ice cream truck and fire truck,the fire truck i have a poor example of.

If i get some doubles i will let you know lol,i nearly turned down an american saloon one the other day off my mate it was very cheap but when i turned it over it had a couple of letters cast in which i had not seem before so yet another version...

I have a couple of new tp items to my collection so i thought i would share them and add to this post,the first is another empro rubber band model,this one is an upgrade has it has wheels still lol ,and i know the ice cream truck is poor but its only the second one ever i have seen and this one would have been clockwork unlike the other one.

Love the Ice Cream truck mate!
Any idea where abouts in Walsall these were?
Cheers
