Die cast zinc toys made in the first half of the last century, when
the significance of contamination of zinc by traces of lead wasn't
realised. From https://www.brightontoymuseum.co.uk/index/Zinc_pest

I had some matchbox toys from the 50s which looked like they were di cast.
Not got them now though. I well remember a dinky toy of a VW camper van
having one of itswindow struts break off.

Probably not, as the causes were discovered as early as 1929 (lead
impurities in the zinc), made worse by damp storage conditions. Wiki
says items made after 1960 are not considered likely to develop the
condition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_pest
