Product Details & Size Guide
Carry a small reminder of motoring and toy-making history with this Dinky Toys phone case. Meccano Ltd began issuing railway accessories in 1933, and the Dinky Toys name soon became associated with miniature cars, trucks, aircraft and more. Production in Liverpool and France, followed by changing owners and ranges, gives the brand a story collectors can explore across generations. A fitting everyday pick for model vehicle enthusiasts and admirers of classic toy design.
Dinky Toys was a die-cast vehicle and miniature accessories brand produced by British toy company Meccano Ltd. Frank Hornby founded Meccano in 1908; its railway accessories first appeared in 1933, and the name Meccano Dinky Toys was used in Meccano Magazine in April 1934. The Meccano name was dropped from the marque in August 1935. Production took place at the Binns Road factory in Liverpool, with a French range produced first at Bobigny and later at Calais. British production stopped during the Second World War, when the Liverpool factory made goods for the war effort; new models returned in 1946. The post-war range expanded from cars to commercial, military and other vehicles, including larger Dinky Supertoys introduced in 1947. Lines Brothers took over Meccano in 1964, and Dinky Supertoys was renamed Dinky Toys in 1965. Meccano was later bought by Airfix, and the aircraft range included larger models developed by Airfix and made by Meccano. French production ended in 1972. British-made Dinky Toys continued until 1979, concluding a brand history shaped by changing owners, factories and product ranges.
