Tonka Van-Pick Up Thing
[ad#ad-2]
A much loved Tonka truck from my childhood. I always thought these Cab-over-engine (COE) van-pick-up things were cool.
Tonka Toys-Tonka Farms Horse Trailer
The trailer isn’t as crooked as that last picture makes it look. Someone added a flame sticker to the top. I love the wheels and white-wall tires. I almost gave this away to the Salvation Army a while back. I’m not sure why I didn’t. If anyone is interested in it, let me know. Or pick up Collectors Guide to Tonka Trucks, 1947-1963
Star Wars Toy Catalog Vintage 1979
I suppose I should scan the whole catalog, but haven’t gotten around to that yet. I do have more pages of another Star Wars Toy Catalog.
Retro Ertl Otasco Toy Semi-Truck
An old Ertl Otasco five-and-dime store 18 wheeler. Never been out of the box. The Ertl Truck and Trailer cost $13.97 when new.
For those who may not know, Otasco was a general store like Woolworths or Sears or Montgomery Wards or TG&Y. Kinda like a neighborhood Wal-Mart. Gilligan from Retrospace should like this, he’s got a thing for truckers, er, um, trucks.
Vintage 1960s Buddy L Truck
An old Buddy L pickup truck that I sold on eBay for about $10. From back when kids toys were able to cut you, but that was just life. We didn’t have as many pansies then.
