Siku, presentation of all models produced in 1969. Diecast car

The Siku company began producing toys in the 1920s. It was not until the 1950s that it launched the production of car models. Initially, they were made of plastic. In 1969, the last plastic model was made and all models were made of a zinc alloy. In the 1960s, the company developed very dynamically and in the initial stage it packed its models in cardboard boxes, later switching to blister packaging. She was one of the few that tried to make models from a given series in one scale.
Although it made many American car models, it never gained popularity in the United States.

Hello Paul.....those were the times when you could buy good quality diecast toys ..... A million times beter than the cheap, almost complete plastic, crap whe can buy now!!!!!! 👍

[@PaulRestorer]

I agree with you there those toys were amazing. Best wishes

Examining Matchbox and Hot Wheels prices and we found their 1960s prices (like a 57¢ Matchbox casting) would equal a $4 to $5 USD price in today's dollars. Currently Matchbox castings run from 99¢/$1 USD at Walmart or the dolllar stores to $1.49 USD at our local groceteria. Guessing Matchbox/Hot Wheels are doing OK with said range and M-2, Johnny Lighting and Auto World (to mention a few) are certainly doing well in the $5 USD price point.

I think alot of reasons brands went to plastic bases was the ability to add intricate detailing and the ability to mold in different colors. reducing the need to paint bases. Definitely another thing modern diecast brands have over ones from the past is the modern pad printing allowing for intricate badging and decals at a reasonable price.

Wow. A top model ARAL truck costs 10 DM in 1969. That is not even 5 euros in 2020. And what quality can you buy for 5 euros nowadays? Siku was the best in my opinion.

[@paul-sparky-sparr4160]

😁👍🏼 In one way agree with you, Mate. 5€ for a model like this today? No way😁 But on the other hand... My Dad had a wage of 7,50 DM (per hour) back then. So that wasn't cheap. But you're right, SIKU models were (and they still are today) quality-made. So I know what you mean my friend. 😁😁😁👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@jankotze1959]

Very nice Paul, I never knew SIKU have old toys, and made cars models as well, here in South Africa I only know it as mainly agricultural models and all of die-cast or what ever, no plastic. We don't have RC Siku models as well up to today as far as I know

[@PaulRestorer]

Hello Jan. Siku, as I wrote in the description, focused mainly on Europe and is also unknown in the United States. And now you wrote that in South Africa too. This brand does not have the same reach as matchbox or Hotwheels. Best wishes

Vielen Dank fürs zeigen von dem schönen Katalog. Das ist ein echter Ausflug in meine frühe Kindheit, da war ich 8 Jahre alt. Die Spielzeugautos von Siku, Märklin und Matchbox waren mein Schatz. Meine Eltern waren nicht besonders reich, eher waren wir arm. Im Jahr 1969 waren wir vier Kinder, ich war das dritte Kind und der zweite Sohn. Meine beiden Eltern waren Flüchtlinge nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg. Meine Mutter stammte aus Ostpreußen, sie floh mit ihrem Geschwistern und meiner schwangeren Großmutter in letzter Minute nach Bayern bzw Mittelfranken. Ich habe leider meine Großmutter sie starb 1963 nie kennengelernt, genauso nicht wie meinen Großvater, da er in Kriegsgefangenschaft in Sibirien 1946 gestorben ist. Ich habe meine Schulfreunde immer um ihre Großeltern beneidet. Erst an den Preisen im Katalog kann ich erkennen, wie großzügig meine Eltern zu mir waren, denn ich hatte viele Modelle aus diesem Katalog. Zum Vergleich, ich hatte 1976 einen Ferienjob in der Industrie, dort habe ich in der Stunde 4,12 DM als Lohn bekommen, und ich war damals derjenige, der am meisten pro Stunde bekommen hat. Der Liter Benzin war noch unter 1,00 DM. 1971 bekam ich noch einen kleinen Bruder, dem habe ich während seiner Kindheit reichlich Siku Modelle geschenkt, besonders die, die ziemlich ausgefallen waren. Viele Grüße aus Nürnberg ! PS: Erst vor wenigen Wochen, hat der Spielzeugladen aus dem überwiegend meine Modelle stammten, nach 169 Jahren, als eines der ältesten Spielzeugläden in Deutschland, den Besitzer gewechselt.

Je me suis toujours demandé d'ou venait le nom SIKU qui me semblait très étrange quand j'étais gosse , la réponse était pourtant simple : " SIKU originates from abbreviating the name of the founder of the company, Richard Sieper, and the German word for plastic, Kunststoffe (e.g. Sieper Plastics)."

[@PaulRestorer]

Bonne journée. C'est très intéressant ce que vous écrivez. Je n'y ai pas pensé, mais ça vaut toujours la peine d'en savoir plus. Meilleurs vœux

Interesting to see how many have equivalent Matchbox models; the same types of vehicles, just different makers. Also, very few British vehicles - very interesting to see.😁👍👌

[@PaulRestorer]

I noticed that when a company released a model and it gained popularity, two other companies were doing the same or very similar.

[@2H80vids]

@@PaulRestorer Very true. I suppose the most obvious example is Matchbox themselves. It all started to go wrong when they copied HotWheels. Also, they made great cars and trucks but their planes and ships were pathetic.
