~ Hi CW Gang ~
Found this DINKY TOY yesterday for .25 cents at a Garage sale. So not sure about this IF it is a Rare one or not. has HONG KONG on it, the date of 1969, black seat ( not white ) but no logo on the helmet...so not sure exactly what I have. Is he Rarer? I note the wheels do not have the Red Line on them -- so maybe from 1970 - 1973 ?? But not sure. LOTS TO LEARN ABOUT HOT WHEELS !! I know a little bit about hot Wheels.....
Thanks for LOOKING // LOVING !!

Here are a couple other posts of the RED BARON here on CW:

I looked up one of these before but I don't recall quite what I found. It is post the red lines era. It isn't rarer and I think you already figured out it isn't a Dinky.
Redlines lasted through 1977 so yours is 1978 or later.
Yeah, i saw something before on this site that said BW wheels in 1977....scroll down some
