Almost every British child who grew up in the 1930s to 1950s played with Dinky Toys. When Dinky Toys are mentioned, people might think of cars, but the range included ships, planes, military vehicles, road construction equipment, commercial transport, doll's house furniture, garden rollers, agricultural implements, and even sheep – a total of over a thousand different items. Many items are now very rare and have never before been depicted in a book on this subject. The authors have gained access to many precious archives and materials, some of which were not only previously unpublished but were even thought to have been destroyed. This book, exuding pure and unadulterated nostalgia, is also a rich reference for model cars, suitable for every child who loves cars, model car enthusiasts, and toy collectors.
