- Galanite
Galanite was a Swedish vinyl and plastic company making mostly toys, specifically cars. Approximate dates of production were the late 1960s through the 1970s. Items produced are similar in concept to what
Tomte Laerdal produced in Norway.Most cars produced were in the four inch range. Like most rubber vehicles, construction was of only seven parts: a molded vinyl body, two metal axles, and four plastic tires. Some examples were exceptionally detailed for vinyl such as the SAAB 96 with a very accurate front end, accurate body proportions and SAAB logo on the trunk lid. The model almost appears to be a promotional.
Models are not numbered on the bottom and usually simply say "Galanite Sweden".
