The company Marchesini which is also called AMB Marchesini has produced this Volvo delivery truck. The tinplate model has no resemblance with a real Volvo car that I know. But since Volvo is marked on the rear side, we have to assume that it was sold as a Volvo car. The model measures 9.5 x 3 x 4 cm ( l,w,h ). This specific model was sold for 217.50 € in an auction on the 2011-11-09. 'Nopri' was a franchised store chain in Belgium. The first shop opened in 1933. A total of 220 of these stores existed until the 1990's in Belgium. Nopri belongs to the 'Carrefour' group.

I would be pleased if someone could help me to find more infos about these models. Photos used with permission.

Hi, the Marchesini is no Volvo, "Volvo" is also a town in Italy! Maybe the home of NOPRI?! Leave a Reply. |
