I see it now. Thank you for the red arrows! Is it damage before they assembled it? And got past quality control at Tekno? I looked at some of mine and don’t have any marks like that though. So I do not know for sure.
Burland’s Hobby Shop was a toy and train store in Pittsburg, PA USA, in the 1950s and 60s!
It is a beautiful car. I think it is original. I have a few Teknos of that age with the same marks around the rivets. Bought many years ago in the box. I think it is a mark when they pressed down too hard when assembling the cars in the factory.
Kenn, yes I would like it. Please email me at goschnelle@gmail.com
That is very rare to see the old tinplate car in that good shape and with a box! If you sell it, I and many other people will want it. It is one of the first Tekno cars made in Denmark but copied from a similar car from Schuco in Germany.
One of the people here has a few pictured on his own website: http://tekno-vilmer.dk/index.php?ID=5&lang=da

IndianapolisSava is a partswork from Spain, so all of them I see are from there. Also the BMC Service with English flag is for sale on ‘epay’ also, from Spain, France, or Hong Kong. That’s the only ones!
Tak, Bertel.
A short history of why I collect is near the bottom on the first post – http://www.maronline.org.uk/editorial-december-2015/
I do not have a website but Tekno photos that I have posted on forums are at http://s292.photobucket.com/user/kschnelle/library/tekno .
and Alfas: http://s292.photobucket.com/user/kschnelle/library/Alfa
I hope you can see them.
Thanks, Hans Jorgen.
The copyright is 1965 on the original idea so perhaps they added the Tekno Jaguar in 65 or later in 66 or 67? It was the last one in the series (I think) so it could have been after 1965. It is all a guess on my part, so who really knows?

Now, I must go look at the bottoms of all my Scanias and see which variations I have! Tak for that! 🙂
So the top is the same on the 2 trailers. The wheels are cutout on the Carlsberg, and the baseplates are different. Carlsberg has 2 round pieces that fit together – one on the cab and one on the trailer. See photos above. My 2 trailers are attached here.
Spon (1953-60) did say the boss drove a big Mercedes. Is that all we know about it?

IndianapolisWow, very nice!
It was in England 2013: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2344631/Dinky-toy-cars-collection-set-sell-100-000.html
You are right! That is a super find from England – the Dinky car carrier is a classic Dinky, one of the best.
Jens,
I have new theory now! Knud Jakobsen when he was sales director (maybe 1969) went to the toy companies in the US to find a distribution deal. he ended up at MPC, a large plastic car kit manufacturer, in the suburbs of Detroit! MPC was based in Mt Clemens, MI, just north of Detroit. Knud made a deal with them to sell the Kirk modle kits (metal, 1/43.5 scale) in MPC boxes in the US. There were these in the range:
An old ad for strip ‘n steer, in an American boy’s magazine from Dec 1970, shows the following models. I have several in large MPC boxes.
No. Model
914 FORD D-800 dump truck
915 FORD D-800 stake truck
931 MONZA spyder
933 Oldsmobile TORONADO
927 Jaguar XKE [sic]What do you think of my theory?
