Posted: Sat Oct 02, 2010 2:21 pmAnother hint. Hey I told you guys it was really obscure.
This toy company inspired Peltzer to start the German firm of Wiking, who first started making metal toys then from 1939 the series of 1/200 scale Luftwaffe identification and recognition model aircraft in plastic. Wiking also made vehicles and a series of ship recognition models.
I have never found a reference to it on the internet.
It was only due to a casual day long meeting of older {in age and experience} collectors at my place in florida a few years ago that one of them recognized the toy. later he sent me a copy of an article from which i found these photos of other aircraft made by the same maker.

The manufacturer is Pliot Fly. All pre War.
Here is the list that came with the photos.
When I looked at this list and then the photos I realized just now that I probably have one of the Fokkers unidentified in another tray somewhere.

Posted: Sat Oct 02, 2010 4:26 pmStill...never heard of this line, but a very impressive and interesting line up of aircraft, and they seem to be well done as well. Considering the number of "toy" issue at the time, these are nice little models.
How rare are they, overall?
