This Christmas I bought my uncle a "Franklin Mint" Allis Chalmers WC ( just like the tractor he bought new in 1942 ) Although he was thrilled to receive such a beautifully crafted and detailed model.... we were both surprised ( shocked? )when we discovered that it was MADE IN CHINA. I bet Franklins do make an absolute "mint" out of these models!

Roy,

I'm sure you are quite right about the profit that Franklin Mint must be making. It is a sad commentary that the most detailed and finest models made must be made offshore.

I first noticed this trend in about 1991 when I bought a Farmall Model A tractor. The fit and finish were outstanding, much better than I was used to seeing from the Ertl factory. Then I saw the "Made in China" statement.

Have a Happy New Year in sunny UK.
