Israeliana 9 Game Cars made by Gamda Company
9 cars in used condition, wear and tear, due to their use as a children's game (one car misses 2 wheels). Gamda was a car model brand that was alternately produced from 1958 to the 1970s in the casting factory "Habonim" in Kefar Hanasi Kibbutz.
Initially, the factory produced the cars out of carton, and in 1961 it changed to the production of metal models. Some of the models are made in the figure of cars common in that period in Israel, among them vehicles of Tzahal and the Israeli Police and Egged busses. In the middle of the 1960s the factory stopped operating, after it failed to compete with the imported car models, however in 1967 it reopened, under the name "Gamda-Kur Export", in parnership with the Kur concern and the American company Cargastan. The assembly line, nicknamed "Sabra", was this time designed for export, and focused on American car models (thought also producing Beetle models). During the 1970s the factory went through financial hardships and closed down.
Today the "Gamda" and "Sabra" models are regarded as collectors items, with prices that may reach thoudands of Shekels.
