Earliest Brooklins question
Does anyone have pics (or a link to pics) of the earliest Canadian Brooklins. Seems I recall a pic somewhere that shows white rubber tires much like old Hubley toys. A friend says he has a bunch of old Brooklins to sell and I just want to make sure what they are supposed to look like - NO, NOT REALLY! I am just curious. Thanks for any info.

I am going to sell my Brooklins also....
I have Brooklins from #1 to #46 and none of mine have white tires, I don't know if any of mine were made in Canada or not. I suppose they could be later versions of the older cars.

The first, very crude Pierce-Arrows had white tires.
They are extremely rare as only about 100 were made. they often sell for $1000-1500. I'd be very surprised if you have any.

Turn them over, if made in Canada they say so.
Some versions of all BRK's were made in England.
