Franklin Mint Precision Models
Franklin Mint Precision Models were made by the Franklin Mint, originally a private mint founded by Joseph Segel in 1964 in Wawa, Pennsylvania. The company is now owned by a private equity firm headquartered in Midtown Manhattan New York City and Exton, Pennsylvania. Besides diecast automobiles, the Franklin Mint manufactured and marketed coins, jewelry, dolls, sculpture and other collectibles.
==History==
In 1983, after Warner Communications had purchased the Franklin Mint, the company entered the die-cast diecast vehicle market introducing a 1935 Mercedes Benz 500K Roadster. In the following years, Franklin Mint produced more than 600 different issues of motorcycles, trucks and tractors besides automobiles (Johnson 1998:78-79; JSS Diecast 2012). Marketing of all vehicles was almost exclusively through mail order catalogs.
Vehicles - often called 'Franklin Mint Precision Models' - usually cost between $75 and $150 and were meant as adult collectibles. (Johnson 1998:78-79). Over time, models were often made available in several different paint schemes (Doty 2007a, 87-88). Models were made in China, usually in batches of between 1,000 and 5,000 pieces (Doty 2003a, 88). The normal scale produced was 1:24, but models were also issued in 1:43, 1:18 and even a very large 1:8 for the 1885 Daimnler Single Track Reitwagen and the 1886 Mercedes Motorwagen (Johnson 1998:78:79; Flickr Reitwagen. 2012).
