Johann Distler founded, in 1895 in Nürnberg, the Metallwarenfabrik Johann Distler KG. Until WW1 they mainly produced Penny Toys. Later they also produced cars, planes and mechanical toys. In 1936…
Volkswagen models, promotionals and toys have been produced in many scales, colors and materials over the years. Some have been produced with very fine details and others as a caricature…
Very nice! If it would be nearer to Amsterdam, I'd really like to visit it.
Maybe the museum could take a look onto our site as some descriptions of toys/ manufacturers are wrong,
:-)
Hi there,
the number of daily visitors to the site is big, so it seems to be interesting to collectors of really vintage VW toys.
Unfortunately only a few are willing to communicate online...
I have almost given up trying to convince collectors to share their thoughts on the site. As said, we have many visitors, but little contributions...
This sometimes feels disappointing as we spend many hours in expanding the site and also quite some $$$.
I hope to see more contributions,
best regards
Jozsi
