1948 Packard Dealer Promo Collection

Dad was a Packard dealer and I was five years old in 1948. I had a few of these dealer promos to play with, and as an adult I decided years ago to try to collect all the colors. Trouble is, I've never known how many colors were made. Over the years, I have acquired the following colors: tan, blue, cream yellow, light green, maroon, green, gray, chrome-plated, and black.

The promos were made by a Chicago company called Master Caster, now defunct. As far as I know, there is no means of determining what colors were available. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows more about this than I do.

Thanks,
