Dinky Toys first entered the
market in December 1933, known as 'Modelled Miniatures and
were initially intended as model accessories for model
railway sets in order to make the railway train sets more
life like and more appealing.. Dinky Toys Production began
almost simutaneaously in Liverpool and Bobigny, France in
the 1930's with many models being produced until war broke
out and metal toy manufacture became very restricted if not
obsolete to aid the war effort, with the eventual invasion
of France obviously making life far more restricted as far
as toy making was concerned. After 1939-40, No official
production took place untill after WW2 in 1946 when Dinky
Toys started producing new models, but with the shortages of
rubber and metal, initially after the war, the French began
producing all metal wheels and tyres where as the UK Dinky
toy started using metal and rubber for the wheel hubs and
tyres so the UK Dinky toy was more realistic than the
French.. New, rare and vintage dinky toys for sale. Cars, vans, trucks, lorries, aircraft, ships, transporters and more..... |
