Era: Vintage, 1980s–1990s
Condition: Excellent vintage — from a collector's estate, believed never played with. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
A satisfying find for the die-cast collector or anyone drawn to the elegant lines of pre-war European automobiles.
This model is based on a car Mercedes produced from 1936 to 1940. Two working doors, chrome-style accents, and a glossy black top give it real presence on a shelf. It arrived from the estate of a dedicated toy car collector and still carries its original “Made in China” foil sticker — a small detail that speaks to how carefully it was kept.
Yatming was a Hong Kong-based toy company known for detailed die-cast replicas of classic automobiles, manufactured in China and distributed widely through the 1970s–90s.
