1940s ambulance and 1940s truck tootsie toys, strange old button and more!

Went out for 2 Hrs today after the rain stopped, found no silver again, but made up for it with other finds. Found two old tootsie toy trucks, each about 9" to 10" deep. One was a 1940s ambulance and the other a delivery truck from the 1940s. Also found three old wheat's: 1913 D,1916D and a 1919? Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking!

The Tootsietoys date to the 1950's. The Chevy Ambulance is a little older originally introduced in 1950 and the other looks like a Chevy Panel Van (with open front fenders) was introduced a few years later in the "1950's". Nice finds.
