Summary

This book on Dinky Toys takes a brief look at the fascinating life of the founder of Meccano, Frank Hornby, and the very varied range of children’s products which came out of the Binns Road factory in Liverpool. It looks at the beginnings of Dinky with the pre-war models but concentrates on the hugely popular post-war ranges from the ‘golden years’ of these wonderful die-cast toys.

All aspects are covered:

  • The small Dinky Toys
  • The larger Dinky Supertoys
