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?
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?
