Old toy truck

[thrillathahunt]

This is the first EVER "old" toy car/truck I have dug that was 100% complete. It looks like it is from the late 50's? It's Pressed steel, with no markings. Kinda cool don't ya think?

Anybody know who made these?

Look underneath and see if it is stamped "TOOTSIE" .. That is a fun find for sure!

It's not pressed steel, but it's made of "Pot" metal, a zinc alloy (think Matchbox cars). Most likely it dates from the 1960s. They were made of several companies, but creskol is probably right as TOOTSIE made the most of these.
