Whether you are wondering what the toy cars, and trucks at the
bottom of your toychest are worth, or are a serious collector, this
new book will be useful to you. Ed Force, one of America's foremost
collectors and experts on miniature toy vehicles, catalogues and
shows in full color all of the latest Matchbox toys made from
1983-1987 and presents the first comprehensive look at the new
world of Lledo Toys vehicles. The Matchbox toys section brings
Schiffer Publishing's coverage up-to-date, taking up where Nancy
Schiffer's Matchbox Toys stopped off and bringing the reader
information and full-color photographs of the most recent models.
The Lledo Toys section introduces that company's line of miniature
"antique" vehicles, many of the horse drawn varieties, and opens up
a whole new field of collecting to enthusiasts. Ed Force also
provides helpful background information and history which will
increase the fun of collecting them. Included in Matchbox and Lledo
Toys is a current price guide, an immense help to those involved in
this fast growing hobby.
Lledo is now over ten years old, and its wonderful products are
numerous and interesting enough to fill a wonderful new book by
America's foremost authority. Matchbox Toy co-founder Jack Odell
founded the Lledo Company (his name spelled backwards) and produced
the first models in 1983. Since then, the fleet of these miniature
antique vehicles has grown to include thousands of examples,
including basic models and great number that carry company
advertising designed for promotions. Over 2000 examples
photographed in full color document the production of Lledo. In
addition, Ed Force gives an informative history, an extensive list
of variations, and a price guide to current values. Included are
Days Gone models, buses, emergency vehicles, newspaper vans, beer
and soft drink trucks, food product vehicles...the list goes on and
on. This new book will be a welcome and necessary part of any
toy-related collection and will be enjoyed by all.
Here, at last, is a long-awaited volume for collectors of miniature
vehicles. After a span of several years, noted authority Edward
Force turns his eye toward the vehicles produced in northern Europe
from the early to mid-20th century. From Scandinavia the toys
include the classic Tekno brand, as well as Vilmer and several
smaller brands such as Bapro and Lemeco. Also included are a series
of plastic models once offered by Lego. From Belgium, there are
vehicles from the Gusquy-Septoy firm and the short-lived Sablon
brand. Holland is represented by Lion Toys and the Best
Box-Efsi-Oto-Holland line. Finally, the book contains the German
Siku line. In all, hundreds of examples are shown in full color,
plus the encyclopedic gathering of information that collectors have
come to expect from Dr. Force. Values are provided for each model
shown. This new volume will satisfy the pent-up demand for a new
volume on miniature vehicles and will be a welcome addition to the
collector's library.

The year was 1930. Ferdinand de Vazeilles of Nanterre, France, had
been asked by the makers of Gergovia spark plugs to produce a
promotional item to advertise their product. His design of a spark
plug on wheels, complete with fenders and running boards, was
manufactured by a local foundry. It sparked several series of
miniature vehicles in the 1930s, produced by de Vazeilles under the
name of Solido, the firm he founded in 1932. This truly classic
brand of die cast miniature vehicles attracts new admirers today,
while it continues to fascinate those who discovered it many years
ago. One of the early collectors, Ed Force has 1200 Solido models,
nearly all of which are illustrated here in full color. with the
company history and a detailed accounting of models and variations
listed in an easy-to-use format, this book is a must for collectors
of Solido and other die cast vehicles. To help the collector assess
a model's value, a price guide is included, with a high price (what
a collector who must have a mint boxed model might be willing to
pay) and a lower price (what a collector might be willing to pay
for a pleasant mint boxed model).
Dinky toys, produced from 1933 to 1980, have become popular

chronological list, and a newly-updated price guide. It includes
