Help on age and manufacturer, toy car.

hey guys I found this toy car today with my new minelab excalibur ll any way to find out who made it and when it was made? Thanks in advance. It's 6 cm long and made of some sort of lead alloy I think.

construction looks like tootsietoy, but I can't find that particular model anywhere

We don't have tootsietoys in Denmark, but I see what you mean. Was the bottom of a tootsietoy as crude as my car?

yes, tootsies are typically just a die cast 'shell' (hollow from the underside) in the shape of a car or truck nearly identical to yours. Barclay might be another possible maker of yours

Being in Denmark doesn't mean that family and children traveling to your country couldn't have brought there toys with them, and lost whilst playing

Have you tried Dinky Toys?
Most have the brand and model cast on the inside.

 

[jan nielsen]

Nothing on the inside, but thanks for your thoughts.

Another maker of cast toy cars was Manoil. They made toy soldiers and cars.

Hubley Kiddie Toy? How big is it? Are the tires made of rubber?

 

[jan nielsen]

I think that the tires are made of bakelite, they are very hard but I don't want to ruin the car more than it is so I'm careful when I touch it. It's about 6 centimeter long.
