A Little Dinky Toys History
Dinky Toys originated with Meccano Ltd. in Britain and became one of the pioneering names in diecast model vehicles. The range began in the 1930s and expanded to include an enormous variety of cars, trucks, military vehicles and other subjects.
American automobiles became an important part of the Dinky range, particularly during the post-war period when American-inspired styling was enormously influential. Studebaker models are therefore an interesting part of the broader Dinky story and appeal to collectors interested in both British diecast toys and American motoring history.
Collectors today often study relatively small details such as model numbers, base markings, wheel styles and paint variations when identifying individual Dinky Toys. These features can help distinguish different production periods and variants.
