I've always loved finding TootsieToys. Usually I find the small version cars and sometimes a truck or jeep. I wasn't aware that Tootsie made these larger version toys. It measures approximately 4 1/2" long. Thanks for looking. Good luck on the hunt!

I haven't found a Tootsie in awhile now. I love finding them but have never found a big one like that. Great find! I really like the fact it is a tow truck too.

Who doesn't like to dig a tootsie toy? I know I rather dig a tootsie than a matchbox or hot wheel. That sure is a big one, I also never knew they were made that size.

Me either and wouldn't have if it wasn't marked TootsieToy on the tires. I was cleaning it up a little and saw the tires so I cleaned it a little better.

Nice Tootsie you got there Jay! I have only found the small ones (1:64 scale). That is a really nice find.

Best of luck to you my man!

That's a nice one, the larger ones are usually worth more. Great condition, you can research a lot on them with just using E-bay. I've found a lot, and checked it out myself.
Awesome find !!

Keep @ it and HH !! :hello2:
