I found this and many, many other toys from the estate clean out house. These old rubber toys had a few different makes stamped onto them. I found 2 trash cans full of pressed metal toy trucks mostly Wyancotte brand but a few Marx were found also.
A clean-out buy-out job of this size can ruin your discovery ah-ha's after a few days, everything from the food in the fridge to the trash in the can is vintage, and hoarder style at that, what do you keep? every magazine is from the 50's or 60's. At this point I just want to go to white sand and warm water on the beach somewhere. We were working at it this morning but it's tooo coooold today and quit because storms a'comin !!!

Two TRASH CANS of pressed steel toys? I'm lucky if I can find one single piece in a weekend. Do you still have them? I really want to see :)
Yes Doc, I still have most of them, I'm in the process of selling them individually so I will post after they are sold. Some were real big like the Lumar MARX Army Transporter, and graders.
happy new year buddy:)
Happy New Year Bellin68 and wishing you killer finds to share in 2013.
