There is growing evidence that (1) and (2) came from Denmark, possibly made by Micro, who were a prolific Danish manufacturer of lead toys in the 1930s.  It is quite possible that Glyntoys or Deltoys were the manufacturers of some of the other models in this chapter, but we have no evidence for that as yet.
