I love early Tootsietoys! these are from the 30s-early 40s army sets. The Mack trucks have some really charming camo paint. The transport has a tinplate canvas back and a cool little driver.
The reflector on the spotlight truck is actually a small mirror (hard to tell from the pictures). All and all, very nice condition on the trucks. It's tough to get Mack trucks that look so nice.
