Overcast
1 C 34 F
The Tekno company was a successful toy company located in Denmark from post WWII (1945) until it was sold to another Danish company in 1972.By the 1950's the company had achieved such a success that it rivalled the British company Dinky Toys. The company produced cars, trucks, tractors, cranes,and even pots, pans, and kitchenware. The vehicle scale was 1:43. This meant that the toy models were 1/43 the size of the "real" items (e.g. car) that they were modelled after.*

The toys above (top to bottom) ranged in price from $ 266.00 Canadian dollars to $ 83.00.
They were built quite sturdily, and have survived to this day. The toys can be easily recognized because the name Techno and Denmark appear on the underside of the toy.
Thanks for dropping by,
and as always,
have a great part of the day or night,
wherever you may be.
