These are one of my collecting specialties. The toy companies that we fondly remember as producing cars also issued some die cast aircraft.

Tone, you have a GREAT collection, I like the planes, I posted som Tootsietoy Planes a while back in this section.

I enjoyed viewing the pics of you airplanes Tone. It's refreshing to see what other people collect. I collect diecast 1/64 scale Johnny Lightning cars, and have a collection of over 200 1/43 scale Brooklin cars.

I remember having a Dinky ME 109 and a P-47 Thunderbolt from the late '70 I believe.
They took a battery (AAA) to make the propeller spin.
Unfortunately, I sold them to limit what I collect.

Any idea what these 2 airplanes are worth now?

Stutz, they could be worth good money, people like those "big planes" from the 70s as they are called. The most expensive examples have their original boxes. DINKY TOYS of that era had good detail.

Sometimes not vehicles at all. Here are 8 die cast toy fence sections.
