November 08, 2019 Add Comment 1:64, 1972, Car, Efsi Holland, Netherlands

These are ii real quondam EFSI models I own. The Mercedes was likewise available nether the BestBox brand, although that older model had practicable doors. As yous tin run into inward the base of operations plate, the Efsi build has been placed over to a greater extent than or less deleted part, where previously the BestBox logo was. The dark wheels were likewise used past times the latest BestBox, simply are best known for beingness the classic blueprint of a big business office of EFSI models.

The kickoff model is a Citroen Dyane inward yellow, real good casted as well as amongst keen details. The almost impresive 1 is the practicable sunroof made of sparse plastic.

The minute model, likewise inward yellow, is a Mercedes 250 SE Coupé decorated amongst race release 10, as well as a dark base. It is non as well as thence detailed equally the previous model, simply withal a rare model.

None is inward their best conditions, simply withal convey collector value.

#812 Efsi – Fiat 242 Together With Citroën C35 (Around 1975)

Mei 15, 2019 Add Comment 1:64, 1975, Efsi Holland, Netherlands, Van

Efsi Kingdom of the Netherlands made these 2 vans inwards several versions each. I am notwithstanding surprised to honor to a greater extent than as well as to a greater extent than decorations of them. I already convey half-dozen or 7 different ones.

Not entirely the colours change, simply equally good at that spot are versions alongside a siren on top, other without, as well as approximately alongside windows other without.

The Fiat 242/Citroën C35 was the upshot of a cooperation betwixt the 2 auto manufacturers as well as it is surprising to me that Efsi made 2 casts which are close identical, instead of choosing approximately other van which may await “more different” to each other. The entirely divergence is inwards the front, where the logo of Fiat or Citroë inwards displayed as well as on the base, where the nurture of the auto is written.

This van has non been reproduced inwards this scale past times whatever other die-cast manufacturer I know of, as well as hence they are interesting collectables for people interested inwards the cars as well as vans from the 70s an the 80s. I mean value it was quite mutual inwards many European countries.

UPDATE1 (Dec/2018): Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 greenish Citroën C.35 "Holland", unfortunately non inwards its best shape.

April 18, 2019 Add Comment 1:87, 1985, Efsi Holland, Netherlands, Truck

I practise non know many models from EFSI. The cars are actually great, but rattling hard to find. Trucks, however, are easier to notice (at to the lowest degree inwards my case) together with I accept bought a few ones over the end few years. Maybe it´s simply that trucks are non together with then sought-after. No thing what, EFSI trucks are dainty models inwards around 1:87 scale together with sometimes include dainty trailers.

The pictures this fourth dimension are non good, I picked them rattling speedily without checking them, together with most of them are blurry. However, the bases of the trucks are non marked inwards most cases.

Some models included trailers, together with some times, these were fifty-fifty sold apart inwards an extra blíster pack, similar this dainty armed forces trailer, which I bought years agone inwards Portugal:

Nothing peculiarly remarkable near this series, except the dainty “TopSleeper”, which I haven’t seen yesteryear whatever other maker.

UPDATE1 (Dec/2018): Yet some other truck inwards alternate colours blue/white). Nice!

I taste discovering novel die-cast makers from the past. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few months ago, I flora this motorcar together with I bought it for five Euro. Maybe a chip expensive considering its condition, but consider I had never seen whatsoever of its build before, I decided to purchase it.

Lion Toys is a die-cast manufacturer from Holland. The fellowship started every bit early on every bit 1946 alongside tin trains, but shortly started producing scale cars too. The "Lion" inward the refer comes mayhap from its founder Arie van Leeuwen, but the Lion is also i of the symbols of the Netherlands, together with hence it could hold out both.

The fellowship seems to accept been real focused on the national market, producing cars that were pop inward the country. At simply about squall for they stopped producing cars to create alone trucks together with busses, i time again alongside a smashing focus on models which were pop inward the Netherlands.

The firs motorcar produced was a Volkswagen Type 1, but it was followed yesteryear many DAFs, a Renault Dauphine, an Opel Rekord or a DKW iii = 6.

Among the trucks, at that topographic point are i time again many DAF models, but also Mercedes, Volvo, Iveco, MAN or Scania, together with the busses are Hainje or Berkhof, amid others.

Since May 2010, the build is belongings of Tekno.

#910 Best Box As Well As Efsi - Ford Taunus 17M As Well As Opel Rekord (2511/401 As Well As 405) (Around 1969 As Well As 1972)

There is something I haven´t shown yet inwards this blog: a existent Best-Box automobile model. So far I had exclusively models marked Efsi on their base, but thank y'all to Pablo from coleccionismo80-90.blogspot.com I got my offset Best-Box. It is non inwards its best shape, but even as well as then it is intereting to have got it inwards my collection, generally since I am capable of comparison it amongst the same toy automobile marked Efsi.

The model is the Ford Taunus 17M. The Best-Box reference pose out is 2511, piece Efsi´s is 401. Beside the obvious differences (color as well as markings inwards the base) both models are identical.

In previous entries virtually Efsi, I wrote the floor of the fellowship using several sources, but since the final entry, I received a comment from Ron Kolk, I responded, but he didn´t write back. I wonder if he is an ex-employee of the company, if he is the writter of the dutch wikipedia entry for me or if he only translated it for me, because he corrects the information displayed inwards entry #175. In whatever case, give thank y'all you as well as then much Ron!

In the belatedly 60's, the mines were shut inwards Limburg. DSM (The State Mine) tries to render the miners amongst novel jobs. Among other things, DAF comes to Born.

The solid reason mines had workshops where invalidly affected miners could deport out work, as well as then equally to have got a decent day-to-day spending. These "WIM Workshops" were transformed into Social Workplaces afterward the mining ceremony as well as housed yesteryear the Social Services Fund (FSI), which her social workplaces resumed at the Foundation for Companies of FSI, abbreviated equally SFB . One of those activities was the continuation of the model automobile production of Best-box. Initially even as well as then nether the hollo Best box, 1 goes to Efsi, a phonetic pronunciation of FSI inwards the seventies.

The fellowship was moved to De Beitel inwards Heerlen. Initially, it was produced amongst the available molds. Later the molds were made yesteryear a fellowship inwards Portugal. After making these dies ready-made, an alloy of zinc as well as aluminum (Zamak) was used to pour cars, lorries as well as buses. One had split molds for the plastic parts, where the wheels, interiors, windows, bumpers were cast. The plastic came from DSM inwards the shape of grains inwards diverse colors that Efsi mixed himself. The rider cars were phased out inwards the belatedly 1970s.

The maintenance of the dies as well as the machine common was carried out yesteryear EFSI engineers.

At the halt of her life, Efsi was renamed inwards Holland-Oto. In 1986, afterward the closure of the FSI, the Holland-Oto molds were taken over yesteryear an entrepreneur from Weert. Efsi models tin post away live institute inwards Holland-Oto packaging. The quondam Efsi manufacturing flora is even as well as then located on the Sourethweg inwards Heerlen, at the Beitel industrial site, contrary the quondam midwifery schoolhouse (now called Imstenrade). The edifice is owned yesteryear the Employment Office Oostelijk Zuid-Limburg (WOZL).

Ron gives about interesting fundamental that may explicate why are at that topographic point inwards proportion many to a greater extent than truck as well as van models than automobile modesl yesteryear Efsi. The rider cars were phased out inwards the belatedly 70s, as well as no novel casts were produced. Trucks as well as vans commonly accept longer to live replaced inwards the marketplace for novel models... Also interesting that advert to a portuguese company... which fellowship is it? There are non many die-cast manufacturers inwards Portugal.
