And here are the last ones. First the Tekno loading ramp.
I need some help from the TC members, because I can not find the original part number. It is not on the box and not on the ramp. The box is a bit tatty, due to age and shelfwear.

I got this one, together with the Dinky tyres and the tire rack from a lady who's father owned a toyshop. After clearing out a cupboard, she found these and decided to sell them at Koninginnedag. I guess it was just one of those lucky days for me





And the Dinky tyres. Note that a lot of them have the letter M cast into the rubber. Can anyone tell me exactely what makes the M tyres differ from the ones without the M? The Ramsays guide doesn't put a value on these boxes with tyres

Note that are two different types of tyres in the 13978 boxes












































 



And the loose tyres that came with all the boxed ones

Your Ramp looks just like the Dinky Ramp. Same style. Is it the same length and width as the Dinky one?



The 'M' stands for Mecanno, not sure when they ended this type of tire but Jacques should be able to let us know.


The boxes of tires are great. 13978 (job number) is the 1 1/16 or 27mm Black tire used on the Euclid and Foden Dump trucks. The 50093 is another number used in the tire sizing sheets I have. 093 (sales number) is the part used at the top of each column.


Your 50099 or just 099 are for the front of the Commer Artic, Foden Dumper, Foden Flat truck with chains. They should be standard Super toys tires of 20mm or 13/16". 10253 stands for the Job Number.


The 090 White tires are 60791 and shoulr be 9/16" or 14mm tires. Used on the '62 Cadillac and the Criterion Ambulance. Smaller tire than the standard car and van tire of 15mm. The number on your box refers to a black tire. The 60791 is a black tire, 14mm, the 60790 is the black tire, 14mm (090 Sales number) and is used on the Singer Bogue, Triumph 2000, VW 1500 and the front tires on the 200 series racers.


The 090W you have should be a 081. The loose tires look like Euclid at the bottom and truck tires for Military vehicles.

Jim.

I can't compare it to the Dinky one, because I don't have a Dinky one.
A fellow collector, who visited me yesterday thought that Dinky made this one for Tekno too, but he could not confirm it. I rate him very highly, because he has over 5000 Dinky Toys, Corgi Toys, Matchbox etc. etc. most of them mint and boxed and has lots and lots of knowledge

The ramp measures 9.25 inches (235mm), hope this helps.

The Ramsays guide names all the tyres with their different numbers. 

The boxes I have shown are for my own collection. I still have 5 more different boxes that are up for sale, 4 of them complete with all 12 tyres, and 1 empty box.

I was very lucky last Monday, one of the best finds ever

My Dinky ramp is 9.25" (235mm) long and 2" (53mm) wide on the underside. i would say they were both made in the same place with the same pressing tools.
