1950's Tootsietoy Green Military Jeep... I love these things...

I found this today in a field that used to have (9) 1930's-1940's houses on it. I really like the old toys...

All the Tootsie toys have a special place in my heart. Can't wait until I find something cool to display them in.

Your using the force young jedi :headbang: WW II jeep is a favorite of yours truly. My last dug tootsie toy was the "sling shot dragster". I am not really sure why some of us like finding these as much as finding a large silver coin.

Man that ones in nice shape. Sometimes I find myself rolling the ones I find across the table like they're in some type of race

Nice Jeep! I've only found one Tootsie so far, one of the bigger ones and missing the top but it's still awesome! We all find these and remember the good old days when our only worry was about not leaving these outside to get buried.

I love these toys. I've only found 1 and it was a 1951 Buick XP-300 concept. Very nice find...

Nice tootsie jeep, How is it that the paint last so long under ground for so long (decades) and paint on cars/trucks these days last 10 years if your lucky?

Good shape, low issue, all together very nice.
They made these into the 60's. But not many.

Good to see all these replies are from peeps who appreciate them.
I surely do.
