Paul,
Nice looking dump truck....
A little window glass cleaner and she'll be ready for the shelf display....

Looks like the back wheel is missing it's white wall or is it reversed??
Hi Smitty,
Oh no.....I've just back it up in the loft ! Thanks mate, I think it's the same both sides, it sits on my old School Holdall & is generally something I move, to get to something else.....if that makes sense. Cheers for the advice with the glass cleaner, first time I've actually looked at it properly in 40 years.......it was Greg that prompted me to get it out !
Regards
Paul
That's an incredible Tonka collection. Some looked like they hardly got out of the box. I understand vintage toys are a big collecting scene in themselves, so worth hanging on to.

In the Acme Truck I would smuggle in Illegal kittens into the house driving across dangerous driveway territory from my neighbors house past my mother as Border patrol.
She found the kittens later safe and all the milk gone

I was addicted to the "Hokey-Pokey" but I've turned
myself around.
Thank you Greg...
