Here are a few toys that I have restored in the past,but first off ,for all of the toy buffs out there,I felt that these were in too bad of shape to leave alone.
So after duplicating the colors I sand blasted and painted them.For starters the Fordson roller was dug up while doing some landscaping,I have only seen 1 other of these,and of coarse the wood on this one was gone,the Fordson tractor had about 10 coats of thick house paint on it ,but was in great condition,and the train was broke so my dad brazed it and after alot of grinding and filing it was painted back to original.
BTW THESE ARE REAL ,ORIGINAL,OLD CAST IRON TOY NOT REPRODUCTIONS!!!!!!!
