Found flourishing in 1895, Distler toys was the brainchild of Johann Distler, who wanted to make his mark manufacturing tin toys in the city of Nürnberg, Germany. All through the late 19th and the 20th centuries, the Distler name became synonymous with quality and creativity, their pieces delighting children and collectors alike. A fun fact, the signature 'JDN monogram', engraved on every piece, is the acronym of Johann Distler's name, authenticating its originality. In 1935, they introduced their most famous model, the Porsche Electromatic 750, enchanting the world with its wind-up mechanism that could actually "drive" and park itself.
