Military trucks in camouflage finish with clockwork drive were part of the standard range of major German tin toy manufacturers of the 1930s, including Tippco (Tipp & Co., Nuremberg), Hausser, Gama (Georg Adam Mangold, founded 1882 in Fürth) and Lineol. The "Dunlop Cord" marking on the tin wheels was common among several manufacturers, particularly Tippco. The integrated winding wing (fixed winding crank on the side of the chassis) was an alternative to a loose winding key. Manufacturer not conclusively identified.
