Early in 2015 I became interested in collecting old die cast and pressed steel vehicles. I saw some vehicles that were branded "Londontoy" which were made in Canada. I really liked the look of these vehicles and wanted to learn more. I learned the following from the Canadian Museum of History found at the following link:

"Webster Brothers, of London, Ontario, were the manufacturers of the “Londontoy” line of small cast metal vehicles, which included a line of wartime vehicles and play sets. Toys that were already in production in peace-time were given new military paint schemes. Beverage trucks became army trucks towing cannons and delivery trucks became military ambulances.
Small die-cast cars and trucks were made by London toy beginning in the 1940’s. Their cars, pick-up trucks, beverage trucks, and buses came in two sizes and several colors and were offered as part of different sets including a gas station and airport."
These toys are numbered, presumably from #1 up to who knows what. I am making this blog to catalog the toys and attempt to get a picture of each toy. I'm also making this blog because I haven't found a centralized location of Londontoy pictures.
