The brand made its debut with the production of tin toys but catapulted to fame with its diecast, toy vehicles. An interesting fact many might not know is that CIJ had an exclusive agreement with Renault for almost ten years, where they intricately modeled Renault’s pioneering automobile designs into miniature wonders. In the mid of the 20th century, CIJ hit a financial bump leading to its temporary closure in the 196s but sprung back to life in 1995, carving its niche in the hearts of collectors all over again.
