Question about Tinplate JB Astons ??

KissyLover

Hi, I was wondering if one of the resident Bond toy experts on the site could give me an idea which Japanese company made the different tinplate James Bond Astons that came out in the 1960's.

I have the B/O, remote control car loose (no box)and a large scale (11 inch) friction version that looks to be exactly the same pressing but I can find no manufacturers mark on either of them anywhere....both just have "Made In Japan" printed on the back parcel shelf.

I also have the large scale B/O Aston (non remote control) but I'm quessing that this one is from a different maker than the other two. ?:)

Any idea guys.
