QUIZ#8 Who made this toy?

[grwebster]

Really tough quiz this time.

Yep...total stumper for me...

[Dakota]

Danish registered JU-52.... Tekno Denmark ?

[grwebster]

A very good guess, and what I thought for years. But, alas, Tekno is not the maker of this JU-52

[grwebster]

Hint. It was made in Denmark and part of a very nice series of aircraft.

[Dakota]

The other Danish toy maker I know was Vilmer....

[grwebster]

Another 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.

A nice selection of vintage airframes! I am so sick of Spitfires, Mustangs and the like that I adore almost anything else with wings! That looks like a Lockheed Orion, for gosh sakes!

[grwebster]

Guess everyone gives up?
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.

Still...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?
