Yeah, they go back to the '70's (not so sure pre-'70's) , but they were well known for making vintage Star Wars related items, mostly R2D2 and Vader specific items, diecast vehicles and figures, wind-Up R2D2. They also slapped their brand sticker on the fronts of carded action figures ( first 12 Star Wars action figures at the time.... 1978-'79). One of my favorite vintage brands, but I didn't get to think that they may make diecast cars , thanks for the heads up!!
