DEFINITION OF DIE CAST COLLECTIBLE ITEM

The term die-cast refers to any toy or collectible model produced by using the die casting method. The toys - collectible are made of metal, with plastic, rubber or glass details. Wholly plastic toys - collectibles are made by a similar process of injection moulding, but the two are rarely confused. The metal used is either a lead alloy (in the first toys), or more commonly an alloy of zinc with small quantities of aluminium and copper. These alloys are also referred as white metal or pot metal, although these terms are sometimes confused with the lead toy alloys. The most common die-cast toys - collecytibles are scale models of automobiles, aircraft, construction equipment, and trains, although almost anything can be produced by this method.
