Fine models, John, and I appreciate your fine photography. Here's one of my favorite Studebaker toys, 6 inches long and made by National Products, Chicago. This 6 inch single casting has in raised letters on the trunk lid: REPLICA OF GIANT WORLD FAIR STUDEBAKER. The postcard information also helps.
My yellow toy Studebaker was the type sold to visitors to the Studebaker exhibit shown on the post card. This was the Chicago World's Fair of 1934. The giant Studebaker was built especially for this fair and was destroyed later. I think the Brooklin model gives a better look at the Studebaker, and I have it. But I wouldn't sell my souvenir for another of the Brooklins. Enjoy!
