ZIGGY STARDUST COLLECTION OFFERED FOR SALE SOME YEARS AGO FEATURING SEVERAL RARE MINI DINKY ISSUES FROM A FORMER EMPLOYEE
Of note, the Mini Dinky heavy equipment line is composed of castings formerly used by Mercury - Italy, and then Gibbs / Lit'l Toy / Mercury - USA, and in turn were used later by Universal. Since Gibbs / Lit'l Toy manufactured in the US, and Universal manufactured in Hong Kong, and Mini Dinky *usually* were manufactured in Hong Kong, the business arrangement behind this part of the Mini Dinky lineup is left somewhat to question. It would appear that Lines Brothers (Mini Dinky) gained control of the tools from Gibbs / Lit'l Toy and transferred them to Hong Kong to produce the Mini Dinky line of models. Considering that Lines Brothers pretty clearly contracted from Best Box for their two open wheel racecars, the notion of contracting the equipment from another vendor, or even having the entire rest of the line contracted, remains within the realm of possibility. After Lines Brothers went out of business, Universal acquired the tools and began making and selling as their own. Perhaps Universal used the same manufacturing facilities, or even were the contracted manufacturer, but the details of the business arrangement and progression of ownership of the tools remains in question.
Casting list from the original line of heavy equipment by Mercury of Italy, sold in the early 1960's:
#501 Michigan Payloader 375
#502 Michigan Bulldozer 380
#503 Michigan Scraper 313
#504 Caterpillar Small Motor Grader
#505 Caterpillar Large Motor Grader
#506 Euclid Heavy Dump / Tipper
#507 Lima Steam Shovel
#508 Autocar Heavy Dump / Tipper AP40
#508A Autocar Medium Dump / Tipper AP25
#509 Lorraine Crane
#513 Euclid Twin Power Scraper
#514 Drott Skid Shovel
#514A International Bulldozer
#515 Blaw Knox Cement Mixer
#517 Allis Chalmers Bulldozer
#518 Austin Western Road Roller
#519 Euclid Bulldozer
#520 Euclid Skid Shovel L30
#521 Warner-Swasey Gradall
#522 Austin Western Motor Grader
#523 Landini Farm Tractor
This list was compiled from a package back.

Many of these models were later transferred to Gibbs (Metal Miniatures) and from there to Lit'l Toy, between the two lines more models were added, particularly a small line of Chevrolet work trucks. These models are also sometimes marked Mercury USA on the base as well.
#1 Autocar Heavy Dump
#2 Caterpillar Motor Grader
#3 Drott Skid Shovel
#4 International Bulldozer
#5 Hough Payloader
#6 Euclid Twin Power Scraper
#7 Euclid Dump Truck
#8 Michigan Scraper
#10 Lima Steam Shovel
#11 Warner-Swasey Gradall
#15 Chevy pickup truck
#16 Chevy Medium Dump Truck
#19 Schramm Compressor (Chevrolet utility body truck)
#20 GMC Cabover Semi and Trailer
#21 Chevy Cabover semi with expandable flatbed trailer


From there six models migrated to Lines Brothers / Mini Dinky as noted above, and those six models then moved to Universal where they were sold as Kidco, Champ of the Road and Minibox, and possibly other brands and trade names.
