Andy Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Does anyone know who made this tractor? It's 1/16 scale approx and made from plastic. Ive seen metal variations but never a plastic one. Any help much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Made by Ranaulph Lipkin Andy, same chap as the plastic BMC Nuffieild. Would love to find one for my collection, one day!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Thanks. Didn't realise there was a DB produced. Did lipkin produce any other 16th models. We have a few smaller scales tractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 These are the only ones that I know of Andy that this chap produced but there may well have been others as I would imagine if someone could produce such a good quality tractor product from plastic like these two that there should be more than two makes produced; But it was several years ago now and how long Lipkin was in buisness I don't know. Perhaps it would be a good topic subject, 'minor farm model producers'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ertlerik Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 In the standard catalog of farm toys, are only 3 plastic 1/16 David Brown tractors mentioned, the Cropmaster shown above, a 25D by Denzil Skinner, and a Crawler by Chad Valley, these are all 1950's toy's.

robbo Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Sorry to hijack your thread Andy but I have been given a plastic David Brown Case tractor and I was wondering if anyone could say who made it? There doesn't appear to be any makers name or other markings other that the DB decal, there is no model number but I would suggest it is closest to a 1694 or similar Help and opinions gratefully received Robbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ertlerik Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Robbo, that looks like a lone star they made those in white and red and in white and black. Erik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Yes, the 1960 is Lone Star. they used the same casting for all their tractors, Ford, MF, Marshall, David Brown, Case (D.B.) Case IH and those horrid blue and the red Internationals. The clockwork D.B. crawler tractor (Trackmaster) was made by Shakelton, not Chad Valley and Denzil Skinner also made a Nuffield Universal as well as the D.B. 25D.

powerrabbit Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 KiwiNick, you will find the 'Lone Star' (with a star between the two words) name on the underside of the tractor below what looks like foot-plate behind the rear right-hand wheel on the side of the casting, you can see it if you look behind the wheel. Oh. And by the way, the Denzil Skinner tractors (Nuffield & D.B. 25D) were made of all diecast, The D.B. had tin mudguards, made in 1957.
