Unmarked Dinky Toys
Unmarked Dinky Toys
Very few Dinky Toys were not marked with some combination of “Hornby Series”, “Liverpool” “Dinky Toys”, or “Meccano Limited”, the first relating to items produced before the brand change in April 1934 as well as the Farmyard Animals up to the War.
This is a list (possibly not exhaustive of Dinky Toys that did not contain branding or manufacturer’s marks. Some were sold in boxes (late plastic figure sets) and these clearly were labelled Dinky Toys etc. The items frequently appear without boxes.
