haha i wish.
cool trucks i used to have a couple of those ended up trading them tho, the first one i think is the hardest to find of the 4 big ones, did it originally have a cardboard insert that went into the back of truck? or am i thinking of a different truck?
I wish, but no. The value would double if it did because you rarely find them with the cardboard insert.
Still a cool truck considering its a fairly new 1960 truck pets 12th edition seems to think pretty highly of it. 1500$ with cardboard insert 800$ without, i would think you could get atleast 300$ for yours.
I picked it up for 70 about two years ago. It's friction which I think makes it a whole lot cooler.
Great deal, im betting you got it at a live auction, other bidders seem to let the young guys get great deals when they see us take interest in antiques :)
what were you able to get the marx truck for ( in pic 3 ) if you dont mind me asking?
95$ in a shop. maybe haha
LOL man you come across some great deals i would have paid atleast 95$ to get that truck.
what can I say, I get lucky a lot. haha
Any made in Canada?
How do you tell if it was?
Some Canada Made toys have incised or embosed or stamped marks; others you can tell somehow.
If you or another do have Canada made Toys, I would like to know as I plan to create a book...
hey coke.trevor.cola do you think the market now is good for the tin friction w/ out cardboard insert?
I'm not trying to sell anything, I just wonder because of it's condition (being that the insert is missing). People would rather have a perfect one?
Yes people would rather have a perfect one, but we dont live in a perfect world so we have to settle with what we can find :) read comment 6 on this page
oh haha. missed that.
