The company Petersen Brødre (Peterson Brothers) was formed shortly after WWII by three brothers, making toys, the first of which was a DKW then a Ford V8 Coupe, followed by a Massey Harris tractor. The original plan was a Ferguson, but that was already being produced by Tekno. Various implements were produced, to be pulled by the Massey Harris tractor, and the Ford V8 was adapted to produce various tankers and trucks. A series of motorcycles, with and without sidecars, together with aircraft inspired by the Flash Gordon comic strip. Toy production continued until the end of the 1950s, after which other products were made, the factory finally closing at the end of the 1960s.
