John Brent had a range of die-cast toys known as BrentToy or Brentware Models. Brent was involved in the sales of Micro Models out of Melbourne in the 1950’s and later.
The range is not large, but the dies eventually wound up in New Zealand alongside the Micro Model dies that continued to be used for model production into the 1990’s.
A Chevrolet or Ford stylised model reputedly by Brentoys or Brentware. Based on 'mb lank' images at Flickr this model is B07 Cadillac Sedan.
Restored in a green finish with silver trim.
The same casting restored in red with silver trim. Based on 'mb lank' images at Flickr this model is B07 Cadillac Sedan.
The underside view of the casting shows no makers markings at all. Given that the dies were hired or leased out by the owner it would seem logical that no markings were included.
While these diecast models were also made with the same dies in New Zealand the models here were collected in Melbourne and I expect that they are locally made.
