Trying to put a date on this.

Found this miniature Train Car buried next to a Well. Anyone know about how old it is ?

Any markings? Size?

Streetcar?

This one was built 1907

 

[tmosc]

No markings. DC Matt is correct. It's definitely a Street Car. Now trying to figure out it's age. I included a Pen for scale.

 

[tmosc]

That's it Matt. If the age of the Farm is any indication it could very well be early 1900's. Found it buried next to an old Well.

That is funny.I found one that is similar to the one you found. Mine was from the 1920s And it was found next to an old rock wall.Welcome to T net

Is it cast iron or pot metal? I see couplings on both ends usually associated with train cars. That being said they did have
"train trolleys" or multi car streetcars too.

No markings and it appears to be cast iron.

I believe it is a slush-molded train car from the Tootsie Toy train set of the 1930's. Check photos of the set on line and compare to be sure. Always fun to find toys! Sub

I have yet to find this exact Car. The windows on this are solid not hollow. Still don't know.

Is it cast iron, tin, or what? It looks like it belonged on a train set/layout because it has a coupler on each end.

Neat find

It appears to be Cast Iron. No visible markings. I'm guessing it's early 1900's but who knows ?

Have seen similar that date from the 1920's.
