We found this when clearing my mother in law's house after she died this year and don't know anything about it so we're wondering if anyone can help? It's 6 inches long and 3 and a half inches tall at the cab. There's a wee driver at the wheel. There are various markings on it - 'by appointment to his majesty the king' and 'j.Lyons & CO. Ltd.' And 'toffieskotch' and 'cadby hall, Kensington, London'. There is a number 1623 on both the cab doors and XH.1247 on the rear.
That's an old one for sure. Looks English made.
It's hard to see in the photos if any of those markings include a manufactures logo.
If you can send me close-up photos of it and of the bottom, I would be happy to check it out. ohtoycollector@gmail.com
