Yat Ming Diecast Vans - What's the Difference?
At first glance, many Yat Ming vans look almost identical. However, checking the base can reveal differences in model numbers, copyright markings and country of manufacture. These small details help collectors compare versions and identify variations.
Show more Yatming Vans Information
Country of manufacture:
- Hong Kong: Found on earlier examples, including some Universal Studios vans marked 1981.
- Thailand: Found on other production versions, including examples of the No. 899 van.
- China: Found on some later versions.
Other base variations:
- Numbered bases: Markings such as No. 899 and No. 1501 help identify particular models or versions.
- Licensed bases: Some carry Universal Studios or other copyright wording.
- Blank or minimally marked bases: Some versions have little or no identifying information, making them harder to trace.
FYI: Comparing the base markings, country of manufacture, casting details and graphics can help distinguish Yat Ming van variations. However, no single marking necessarily confirms the exact production year, and different versions may have been produced during overlapping periods.
