What's the different between the Fiberglass Dinosaur and ...

Now there are many types of simulation statues, such as animatronic dinosaurs, fiberglass dinosaurs, walking dinosaurs, riding dinosaurs, dinosaur toy cars, egg-laying dinosaurs, stamped dinosaurs, dinosaur heads, dinosaur hatching eggs, dinosaur fossils, animatronic animals, animatronic insects, etc.

The animatronic statues main materials are quality steel, brand motors, high density
sponge and 3 to 4 layers silicone rubber, while static dinosaurs are mostly made of fiberglass. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The animatronic dinosaurs, because of  the movements are operated by the mechanical structure inside. The shapes and textures are all made on the sponge, which is soft and has a real touch. The movements of dinosaurs are normally mouth open and close with sound, blinking eyes, head swinging, forelimb swinging, abdominal breathing, tail swinging, and there are effects such as water spraying and spraying smog.

The fiberglass dinosaurs are static dinosaurs, which are similar to sculptures. The shapes and patterns are quite detailed. It takes a lot of time to make a model. The shape of each dinosaur sculpture is better, and the action has a certain scene.

Every kind of dinosaur has its advantages and disadvantages. Which kind of dinosaur you need, Parkdinosaur can make it for you accordingly.

To elaborate on my "new members" post, I enjoy researching older Sinclair dinosaur items. The early, realistic fiberglass Sinclair dinosaur statue has me stumped though, as to its age and manufacturer.

When did Sinclair make (or more likely have made for them) the very first generation of fiberglass dinosaurs that they displayed at service stations in the early s and perhaps earlier?

These are few and far between. I have one, and have talked to the present owners of several others. Like me, they've found no makers marks and the original owners are unknown, dead or have memory issues. All they have in common is that they are known to have come from Sinclair originally.

The earliest photograph of one with a confirmed time frame is from the grand opening of a Wilmington, IL, station in . I have a picture of one in a Chicago parade dated and Wes Maxwell has posted photos of one from . Sinclair seems to have phased them out in favor of a more friendly looking design starting in .

Does anyone remember seeing one of these before ?

As to manufacturers, I can tell you who didn't make them:

Jonas Studios - they made the -65 World's Fair Dinoland life-size dinosaurs, but a member of the family confirms Jonas didn't make this earlier one.

International Fiberglass - They made the common, friendlier, more cartoonish 12' and 8' fiberglass dinosaurs we still see here and there from about until they went out of business in the mid s. They also made these for customers other than Sinclair. I interviewed their former owner in the early s and he said he didn't know who made the earlier Sinclair dinosaur. (Sinclair made molds off an International Fiberglass dinosaur and began reproducing them in in the late s; they recently introduced a modified design with the head facing the other way.)

FAST - Fiberglass Animals Symbols and Trademarks of Sparta, WI. They and their corporate predecessors made fiberglass animals for decades, but a long-time manager says they didn't make the early Sinclair model.

So, none of the above three prominent makers of fiberglass animals in the s made this Sinclair Brontosaurus. Would anyone know who did, and when?

(A previous owner of the one I have painted black lines just behind its head; I've painted those out already.)
