Tiny tootsie?

[the_mad_cladder]

Got out for a bit today and found this toy car. It’s unmarked from what I can see and looks like a tootsie but half as long. Anybody know anything about this?

how old it is?

When I was little, my dad use to bring me home these when he returned from business trips in the 1950's. I still have some somewhere. Could possibly be more information on the inside stamped.

I’m not sure about the age. No marks on it anywhere from what I can tell. Simon1 says 1950s. That’s pretty close I would say.

Nice little Barclay car Madman!

Good luck to you sir.

There is a chance it could also be a "Midgetoy" who was a competitor of "Tootsietoy", but as far as I know, they use to stamp their name on the insides also. (I have found many from both companies). It could just be a generic company that did not use a company stamp. I would think if it were a Midge or Tootsie, it would be marked on the underside. It is a nice find regardless. Reminds us of the days "before plastic" !

That’s a real nice save. I like finding the old ones like that. Congrats

I also found one a while back, and it's still one of my favorite finds! Congrats on the "new" car.

Same here hawk. It looks real nice next to the previously recovered tootsies on my window seal.

I’ll look again tonight but I didn’t see any marks so it could be a knockoff. I likes it either way.

Funny thing is I didn’t find anything else old. Dug about 3 dollars in clad but none old except one 60s memorial It was amongst a coin spill. Had dug a couple nickels and I thought it was another coin.

Ive found that stuff like the tootsie car will pass the threshold and produce a signal cause of its size a lot of the older coins will be deeper with a very faint signal at a slow swing, Im sure youll find em
