      Made by Chime Toy Products out of Toronto. Very cool toy, I love the streamline designs of this era! These do not come up too often, but I have seen a few others. Not a well known maker so the value isn't too outrageous. All and all a good piece, I'd still love to have one if I had the chance.

      Hope this helped,
      -Todd

      Oh, you provide such great news! Merci, that's Thanks Todd.

      Is that Chime co still exists?

      Who were the owners?

      Any history?

      You have a Chime, may I ask?

      Any books on Chime?

      Again, thanks and look forward to any other info any time Todd!

      You are welcome!

      As far as I know, they seem to be a fairly small and limited manufacturer. I can't find anything about them, the only things I know I've read off the boxes that these toys come in. The early 30's was a bad time to be a toy maker, so it isn't impossible that they discontinued in that area of business shortly after making these.

      I don't have anything made by Chime and the books I have don't seem to mention them. I'm just as curious about their history, it would be neat to find out more.

      Thanks again Todd.

      You are right, as I can not find anyhtng yet neither.

      If you do, please let me know; likewise I will inform you.

      As I plan to make a book and publish it, do you have any old Canada made toys or info?

      Thanks Scott.

      Is there an URL, special one?
    6. Benking, 15 years ago
      Thanks Scott!

      I just had to ask if you happened to find an URL which tells about this or the co?

      Ever heard about a crash car?
