✅ SOLVED Old toy car ID needed.....

[Mike from MI]

A friend found this. It is between 2.5" and 3" long. No markings at all. Steel wheels. Another friend thinks it is from the 20's?
Any help would be great. Thanks.

Looks like some I have that belonged to my father. They were late 20s early 30s.

Toys before WWII were metal. I had toy soldiers that were metal, either lead or some other metal, they were painted. I still have the toy motorcycle and it was iron. Then when the war started the toys suddenly became plastic and unpainted. I remember not liking them much. The cap pistols were still pot metal, and there were rubber knives. The plastic junk toys today got their start because metal was needed for the war effort. Neat car.

Slush Molded Boat Tail Racer is as close as I can get. IDing the particular model of car may be a fruitless effort, as many weren't based strictly on a specific make/model. There's a very similar one at the bottom of this link, but most notably the driver is different; Slush Mold Cars from the USA 1920-1940

Reminds me of the car sitting under the Christmas tree in A Christmas Story. Nice find.
