Sorry for the confusion. I used the old small ‘Dodge’ article as an example. I am nor working on the Chevy article.
But everyone replied with the small ‘Dodge’ photos, so we switched to talking about them.
I try to put the Dodge as ‘Dodge’ since I know that Vilmer never called them Dodge but many other people do…. 🙁
Thank you, Ole. I will add your photo to my Vilmer article Part IV (link above). Part V will be about the Chevy, but I am still working on it.
Yes, Bertel. I wanted one at €13, but I would not pay the high postage. The postage is the same as buying 4 more trucks!!!
Bertel – that small Carlsberg with suspension looks like the same design of the Chevrolet with suspension! I have never seen one of either of them. My small Dodge barrel truck has NO suspension and NO steering!
Tak!!!

I do not collect them but here is a nice site: https://www.meccanoindex.co.uk/Other/Tekno-1/index.php?id=1600204052
That is my catalog sheet, but you have good eyes. 🙂 I did not see the small bumps on the ladder. Right click on the photos and open in new window. https://www.maronline.org.uk/the-history-of-vilmer-toys-part-iv-the-small-dodges/
I need to start on Part V soon! All comments and corrections are welcome.
Kim and Bjerg’s Nacoral Volvo cars are great. Like Tekno but slightly newer models!

Very nice generator truck!!!
Most (or all) of these are mine: https://www.hobbydb.com/marketplaces/hobbydb/subjects/tekno-tinplate-series
Can I add your variants to hobbyDB?
I do not have the blue one, sorry, but from google: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/tekno-denmark-falck-blue-ambulance-1695655425
Congratulations1 an amazing find! Those are all great! How did the paint on the convertibles survive so nicely – but the windshields did not? They do not look like they were ever played with!
Tak! I also have only one – but a different one!

So the special box was for all three versions! 230 – 250 – 280. I do believe after all this discussion that this could be a unique piece for the gift museum. The only large importer/assembler/dealer that ‘got away’ with using the official MB images/trademarks on a gift box of his own design. The 1950-60s were different times!

My last post did not go through? Do you not allow links anymore?
I am glad to see someone posting in English here! I am usually the only one but somehow the others tolerate me. I am a long term American Tekno collector who lived during the summer in Denmark as a kid. I never saw this promo box until years later and found mine in 1997. I have seen them for sale, always with the open version. Mine is open and white!
In any case, I think the origin is pretty simple, as Peter says above. Maybe the factory did not give Tekno permission, but I believe they only talked with Bohnstedt-Petersen who was powerful enough to promote MB in DK as he saw fit.
Tekno used the Bohnstedt-Petersen name on both their 230SL and 300SL plain red cardboard boxes.
Have you seen this site? bohnstedtpetersen dot dk history in English? Very fascinating…
Will you have a virtual museum so we all can see some of it? Website? What a huge undertaking! Karl in Indianapolis
