Oh yeah...that`s right up my ally.:cool:
That first BuddyL is a hydraulic dump.The 1st Tonka is a`58.The next one is a`57.Tonka changed body styles a year later than Ford.Does the next one,the green Structo semi,have an opening hood with a motor inside?

Those are cool, I wish I still had the ones I used to play with. I'm only 31 but I played with some of the ones my Dad played, when I was at my Grandma's place.

Re: Blast from the past..the toys you used to play with

Re: Blast from the past..the toys you used to play with

Re: Blast from the past..the toys you used to play with
 

nice collection special k...........that red steam shovel with the low boy was my favorite.i give the neighbor kid a bloody nose over that one.i found it parked over at is house under the tree.back in the early sixties you didn't mess with another guy's tonka's without asking :lol: i think they even had rubber tracks for it.but,they never lasted.i bet their hard to find.
70cstjr....nice group.i had that green flat bed and white horse trailer.i think they sold as a set.there was also removable stake bed fencing for the flat bed it's amazing how you can go 40 year's without seeing one.then,remember it like it was yesterday.

Re: Blast from the past..the toys you used to play with
 

check these currently running on ebay....pretty amazing the horses are still with it.

Re: Blast from the past..the toys you used to play with

Re: Blast from the past..the toys you used to play with
 

Great collections. I just picked up all my old hot wheels from my parents house. A couple hundred total and a bunch of 1/43(ish) scale trucks & cars. I was going to give them to my son, but there are a few I'm gonna keep. Also in the box was a 73-75 Blazer Tonka sized truck. The tops missing and it has some surface rust, but it's not too bad.

Re: Blast from the past..the toys you used to play with
 

those are basically what i have minus the horses..but i like mine better due to mine has patina..and we all know patina brings more money:)

Re: Blast from the past..the toys you used to play with
 

:lol: I painted my Tonka Jeep wagoneer police wagon and regret it .
Did not turn out as I hoped .

Re: Blast from the past..the toys you used to play with
 

Dang! I only have a few hundred.:lol:

Many a busted nose over messing with a feller`s Tonka back then,huh?You toucha my lowboy,I toucha you face!:lol:

I like the pumper truck.All mine got painted,bumpers stripped,decals removed,and basically put to the stress test.My favorite was to oil up the wheels and ride it down the big hill.

Re: Blast from the past..the toys you used to play with
 

Before you pass along the hotwheels, check to see that none of them are hundred or thousand dollar cars!! Lots of the early ones are worth bank especially rare colors, PINK especially, now I know no self respecting man child played with a pink hotwheels, but they are worth bank!
