Dillon-Beck Wannatoy Art Deco Styled Sedan - Blue/Red HP (1945 to early '50s)

According to "PLASTIC TOYS Dimestore Dreams of the '40s & '50s" by Bill Hanlon, this was one of the few plastic toy cars available in the immediate postwar period. The war in the Pacific had ended in September 1945 and with Christmas right around the corner, toy companies were scrambling to re-tool to peacetime mode. This Art Deco inspired sedan by Dillon-Beck turned out to be a hot product and sold over a million pieces by Christmas 1945 alone! It measures 3.125" (7,93cm) L x 1.5" (3.81cm) W x 1" (2,54cm) H

Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 49 Airplanes: Pt 14 Mini-Fighter Jet - Sabre - Blue SP

The Sabre was the Cold War's premier fighter jet and is instantly recognizable. While Payton's other planes may be generic, there's no mistaking the swept back wings and lines of this one. It measures 2.5" (6,35cm) L x 2.625" (6,66cm) wingspan x .625" (1,58cm) H.

Unk Mfr (Maybe 'Applause') - PVC Flintstones Flivver / Flintmobile

I have had a hankerin' to post more Flintstones toys for months now and I think I'm ready for another go-round. In the early years of the blog - 2011-2013 - The Flintstones played a big role here and there were tons of posts. Then it died down until 2017-2018 when the next round hit. Then that died down, but all the while there were still unposted files and photos on the computer to share. So ya know what? - let's do it again!! Yabba Dabba Dooooo!    

This was bought many years ago and was not identified by the seller as to who made it. While it is marked with Hanna-Barbera's trademark, that doesn't mean Hanna-Barbera made it. I'm guessing it could be 'Applause' but don't quote me on it. Fred's Flivver (or Flintmobile or Flintstonemobile) measures  2.25" (5,71cm) L x 2" (5,08cm) W x 1.875" (4,76cm) H. 

This will probably not be a daily post right now as I organize my files a bit better and take more photos, but at least we got the ball rolling.

Today's featured bird is in the middle.

I have no clue what this awkward looking plane was meant to represent, however, it does somewhat resemble an F7F Tigercat which served from the end of WWII to 1954.
