Description

French Military Dinky Toys are very collectable and make an excellent standalone collection or addition to a collection of their British counterparts. This book details the Army, Navy and Air Force Dinky Toys made or issued in France with examples given of each model and its box where applicable. It includes a list of the models and some relevant extracts from French catalogues. Alan Spree gives an overall view of each model produced, including information on details such as hub types, axle sizes, casting differences, with or without a driver, baseplate markings, with or without windows and different tyre types. The models are shown in the original numerical order.

Media Reviews

'This useful collector's guide lists and illustrates each of the French-produced military Dinky Toys together with British military Dinky Toys issues in France, rounded off with some extracts from French Dinky Toys catalogues.' * Best of British Magazine, June 2023 *
'For the hard-core collector who’s keen to understand the full scope and scale of the Dinky Toys production in France, this book provides a truly invaluable source of reference. It should appeal equally to those of us who still get a warm and fuzzy feeling reminiscing about the toys that defined our childhood.' * Toy Soldier Collector, September 2023 *
