Traffic
(Krolyn art. nos. 501 and 502)

Art. no. 501 - Jeep with trailer (photo 1-9)

The gallery shows that there are two versions of this early model. One is without art. no. and manufacturer's name, while the other is embossed with "501 Krolyn" on the underside.

Note: A (very small) photo in Danske Modelbiler, Collectors Priceguide by D. Johansen and H. Hedegård shows the latter version without the JAWA sign. The steering wheel on the example without "501 Krolyn" is not original.

Art. no. 502 - Hellefyr (photo 10-12)

The Hellefyr has occasionally been associated with the older Tekno cars by collectors and it must have been a good supplement. Oddly enough, the same week that Stefan sent photo 12, I learned from a usually reliable source that the 502 Hellefyr was also found in the Danish Police's demo or educational material, in the same way that Reisler's soldiers were found in the Danish Armed Forces' do.

After the appearance of the 501 Jeep, I have changed the title of this page from Krolyn/Tekno to "Trafik" as of May 4, 2025. Tekno had exclusive distribution of Krolyn around 1954, but I have no documentation that shows a direct connection with Tekno and 501/502.

Thanks for the photos to the collectors Stefan, Sweden and Preben, Denmark. The photos of Preben's jeep (without inscription) are a bit lacking in quality, as I photographed it in the cafeteria at a toy market in Aarhus last year... ☺
