Some brands originated before WWII, like Dinky Toys.
In France, I remember Majorette, Solido, Jouef...
The Citroën auto manufacturer had its own brand: Compagnie Industrielle du Jouet, which later did miniatures for Renault.
In this case it was mostly toys intended as a way to promote the brands.
The tradition is still alive (in all the auto dealerships I visited I saw some models on display, for sale), but I don't know who is manufacturing the toys now.
