So, I have two track cars and I'm looking for the manufacturer. All I can say is they are heavy duty, for 1-1/4" and have a Trident logo on them.
Does anyone know who made these?
Thanks in advance...

Merriman Brothers, from Boston. My wife’s grandfather used to make casting patterns for them.
Oh you should see the furniture he made!

He certainly would have been a good craftsman! I have a number of patterns from a foundary that used to operate near me, and they are beautiful wooden objects, precisely made.

He would likely have used a "shrink rule" to make the patterns slightly larger than the end product to anticipate the shrinkage when cooled down.
