The company that produces Siku models is situated in Germany
. It was founded in 1921. Originally it produced anything metal from cutlery to ashtrays. They only started producing toys in the 1950s. The first toy they manufactured was a fire engine and nowadays they produce almost any model from cars to farm toys and trucks.
Most of their recent models are die-cast and plastic varieties were phased out gradually. Whilst the earlier toys were made out of a lead alloy, because of health concerns nowadays they are produced of a mixture of zinc, copper and aluminium.
We are an on line suppliers of toys and models throughout the United Kingdom. We stock various different makes. They are all replicas of real vehicles that have been produced for commercial or leisure use.
Every boy will remember the day when they were first given a toy car or truck. Hours were spent playing with these miniature variations of the real thing. Boys started collecting them and often their parents bought them a garage to store these vehicles in. This was a variation on a railway carriage collection.
Some savvy boys did not play with the early models, but kept them on a shelf in their original packaging. These became collector's items in later years, often changing hands for vast sums of money.
A man I know has spent his whole life collecting earth moving machines. He is now in his seventies and his wife was moved to distraction when the house became too small for his collection. He has now got rid of his vast railway set, but he has retained all the scaled down versions of his toys.
If you have a look at one such toy you will see that these are made exactly like the real thing. They have movable parts such as doors and ladders on a fire engine. The wheels were made with real tyres. The toys are suitable for children from the age of three upwards.
The range of vehicles in this manufacturers catalogue is truly vast and it is worth having a look what is available by scrolling through our website.
