Description
Solido Toys: A Collector's Guide In 1930, Ferdinand de Vazeilles was commissioned to create a promotional item for Gergovia spark plugs. His design of a spark plug on wheels, complete with fenders and running boards, was manufactured by a local foundry and led to the creation of Solido, a brand of die cast miniature vehicles founded by de Vazeilles in 1932. Today, Solido remains a beloved brand, attracting new collectors and fascinating those who discovered it years ago. This book is a comprehensive guide to Solido, featuring nearly 1,200 models in full color, along with the company history and a detailed accounting of models and variations. A price guide is also included, providing collectors with a valuable resource to assess the value of their models. With its easy-to-use format, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in Solido and other die cast vehicles. For collectors looking to expand their collection or simply wanting to learn more about Solido, this book offers a wealth of information and insights.
