Thank you Karl. These historic records are important and informative.

Wow, here's a Brooklin I would buy.  The early Pierce Arrow has a wonderfully toy-like appearance.  And it wears it proudly.  I was always astounded how Brooklin continued with approximations of American cars, priced high and enthusiastically purchased by many faithful collectors. 

John Hall, sold the original resin version at CTCS Toronto meetings for only $16 each in the early 1970s. Mine was blue and grey. He did not make many but I am not sure of the total number. He did make one off colours of several of the early Brooklin, Ontario issues but I did not see a Pierce Arrow in yellow, white and orange as shown by Mr. Crowe.

Hi Karl,

Thank you for this. I could not remember whether it was 1973 or 4 when I got my resin blue and grey version from John Hall. I know there were more than one as I saw three or four blue and grey ones that night at the Canadian Toy Collectors Society meeting. I do remember paying him $16 for mine. No other colours were available that night. I sold mine in the early 2000s along with several other early Canadian Brooklins, mainly test colours done by John.
