Second edition vintage collectable
The Iowa-based Ertl Company has been making collectable toys since 1945. One of their classics is the Texaco Gasoline Tanker, a 1939 Dodge Airflow Truck with 6 wheels.
In 1993, Ertl produced a reproduction of the original and now it’s a desirable collectable too. The truck measures 8 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″. It’s made of heavyweight die-cast metal with 6 rubber wheels. It’s got a heavyweight feel and a thick solid paint coat in the classic dark red Texaco color. The top has a coin slot. The key lock and door on the underside are missing.
Classic 1930’s Texaco markings adorn each door and back of the truck. The TEXACO logo is heavily embossed into each side of the tanker. There’s no rust, no dings or dents and the paint job is nearly perfect.

1970’s Litho Tin Play Toys Set of 2
Year: 1970’s
Manufacturer: Unknown
Condition: Good to very good condition
Vintage collectables
A pair of tin play toys, one a wind up and the other a squeeze-style action toy. They are lithographed tin, probably made by the same company. The pair of wrestlers has a “Made in India” sticker on the underside. Squeezing the U shaped piece under the two wrestlers causes them to rock back and forth. It’s a simple but clever idea. 5 1/2” tall x 3” wide. The chicken has a key to wind it up. Remove the key, set the chicken on a flat surface and he starts hopping. The chicken is 1 1/2” tall x 2” wide. There’s a little paint missing where the two wrestlers rub against each other but they both work great!

Year: 1965
Manufacturer: Tonka
Condition: Very good condition
First edition vintage collectable
In the mid 1960’s, it was still common to have real steel toys made in the USA. This vintage 1965 Tonka Car Truck Carrier Transporter is an American classic. Steel 18 1/4” long toy truck, made in Mound, Minnesota. It’s a two piece design with tractor cab and fleet carrier. Very good condition with only minor scratches. The fifth wheel (a plastic U shaped piece) is missing. Also missing are the original metal ramps. Otherwise it’s in great shape and the painted steel looks very good for being over a half century old.
