Before there was 1/43rd, there was this.When you are a kid and you are ecstatic over all kinds of vehicles, you collect little replicas of your relatives cars and then the neighborhood cars, and trucks that pass by your house. You save these little vehicles by Tootsietoy, Hubley, Dinky and Corgi, if you could afford them, and plastic vehicles by Acme, Allied, Auburn rubber, Barclay, Keystone, Manoil, Ralstoy, Renwal, Ideal, to name a few, and most near 1/43rd. Then came promotionals, which are not covered todayHere are a few examples from my collection, before I started importing, much later.photo no longer availableKeystone gas station (1940's), Set of 4 different Hubley Packards, some plastic, Barclay slush, and Auburn rubber Oldsmobiles, and 1939 Plymouth.photo no longer availableNorev cold cast Shell gas stationphoto no longer availableTop shelf are all Chevrolets.
