John while browsing EBay was suprised to come across a 1/43 studebaker showing a Brookline model BRK144 with made in England on the box…..yet in the corner is a picture of the Statue of Liberty!
Assuming they were an company based in the US. Found this confusing …Which is it?🥴

Brooklin has always had an affinity for American cars. At various times via their packaging, they feature a uniquely American theme. Some of the boxes and many of the club sets featured the Statue of Liberty and some of the NYC skyline.

My apologies. I assumed everyone knew Brooklin was located in the UK. Yes, they are English but have an affinity for American cars, hence the images of Americana,

I knew they were located in UK; I was researching if Brooklin is a reference to Brooklyn NYC since one can see the Statue of Liberty from Brooklyn NYC. Apparently, it is not, since the spelling matches Brooklin, ON Canada. It is a bit confusing for the people not familiar with the brand (myself included; I don't own any Brooklin models).
