Daiya ( Terai ) Toys 1950′s – 1970′s

Formed in Tokyo sometime in the 1950′s, Daiya was typical of many of the Japanese tinplate toy companies of the time being most active from the mid-late 1950′s through to the late 1970′s,after which the company appears to have dropped off the radar.

Daiya produced a good range of tin toys including civilian vehicles, space vehicles including robots along withother space related toys – rays guns etc., as well as several other novelty tinplate items.

Daiya was typical of many of the post war Japanese tinplate toy companies in so much that many of its mechanical tin toys, whether they be clockwork or battery operated, were produced with multi-functional features such as operating lights and sounds etc.
