helicopters from Romania

[alas]

Here is an interesting toy from the old communist days . The manufacturer, according to the box, was the
Intreprenderea partizanul Bacău. This would mean something like the party's or partizan enterprise in Bacau.
Bacau is a city 300 km north of the capital, see wiki.
The box also says ‘bradului nr 1’ . bradului meaning ‘tree’ acccording to the dictionary?? Maybe branch?
I wonder what other aircraft came fom this people's factory?

I've never owned a helicopter toy made in Romania - very interesting!

I just learned there was a Romanian tin toy factory called "Pretul Agatex." I have seen photos of the very nice-looking Tupolev twin-jet (Tu 104 or 124?) from this factory. Perhaps some tin toy helicopters from Romania exist too !

Does anyone recognize this toy maker, presumably from Bucharest, Romania?

Bucuria Copiilor - that's it!

Thanks ALAS!!

This company appears to have made some tin toys in the 1960s.

Finally... here is the "Helicopter with Radar 172-62" toy by Bucuria Copiilor.

It's a nice copy of the toys produced by Hans Biller ( see this thread if interested - viewtopic.php?f=32&t=893&p=4078&hilit=biller#p4040 ).
