I came across this in my grandmother's attic and I think it is a toy my late father probably played with when he was a boy. Does anyone know who it was manufactured by and when? I can't read the writing on the bottom, I've even tried to do a rubbing. It is made entirely of rubber and I don't think it is made by Auburn since I have a few of them and they are plainly marked where this one isn't.

I love these old rubber trucks!
