Hello.
I am in the process of cleaning out my late uncle's house; there were several boxes of antique trains (Most of them are Lionel/American Flyer and labeled as such).
However, I did come across several brass trains, all with the same maker and the same maker's mark, noting they were made in Japan.
If anyone can tell me who this company was/is, it'd be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
