✅ SOLVED Old Toy Truck

[funkapotamus]

Found this yesterday. It was right out in front of my brothers place, kinda under a tree/bush. It is 4 in. long, 2.5 in. high, and about 2 in. wide. It weighs around 13 oz. I don't see any markings on it. Anyone out there have any ideas? Let me know if you need any other info. Thanks in advance.

The 4 hole wheels are of some concern, it that the majority of antique/vintage toys didn't have wheels like that. They are often associated with reproductions, such as the one shown below. Not saying yours is a repro, but the wheel design could be an indicator.

Cool find, I'd call it the real deal........HH

Very cool! So does anyone know who made them, or when? Everyone I have found online says its unmarked, and not alot of info on them. Thanks again, you guys are great to be able to go to.

A lot of these old cars and trucks are marked "IRON ART" in some obscure place underneath. Iron Art replicas were, I believe, made in the 1960s and were quite well done, but they are still reproductions. Yours does appear to be a more modern reproduction. The casting appears to be a bit crude, which is a tip off as to it's age.
