1930's Tootsietoy with an oyster wheel

[mglentz4125]

Got above freezing today so headed out between rain showers for a quick dig. After a few rusty cans were unearthed out popped this old Tootsietoy car. After a douse of water I realized it was previously refurbished with some "custom wheels"! The back wheels are brass buttons held on by twisted wire and the front remaining wheel appears to be an oyster shell button.

Sweet! Yours is in better shape than this one.

Nice save! Looks like there may be a whole fleet of these buried out there.
