Brooklin Toledo Toy Show model - value?
Guys, I've been out looking at a great collection built over 30 years that includes thousands of white metal models. While many of them I've seen (or have in my own collection), this is an old Brooklin I've not seen before.

The collector had in his mind a value that he thinks it's worth but I'm curious what the experts on this board say its value is today...
Thoughts?

Randy - I used to have one, it's one of the earliest Brooklin promos.
But in the parlance of Code 1, 2, or 3 I don't know where this lies. Maybe a Code 2 (model by Brooklin to order, with side decor added by the organizers?) Just a guess....
Also take a look at the base - it might have been one of the last Canadian issues.

Gianluigi's Brooklin Collector's Guide says: 213 pces were produced
One of the first releases produced by Brooklin.
my guess Value $100 - $ 150.

Yes, it has the Canadian baseplate

Then I remembered correctly. John Hall made these before relocating to the UK.
I may be wrong, but I think all the standard issue BRK 9s began life there.
