Nice shape! Reminds me of those "Children at Play" signs I still see from time to time, with the kid running and wearing Nickers.

now that's pretty cool, and in great condition. I never knew they made signs, so I did some looking on the net. Can't really find much info, but it appears they date to the mid 50's. Some signs sold as a set and some came with cars or trucks

I got 2 Tootsies this weekend. One of my favorite things to find.

That sign is really cool. It would look so correct next to my cars. Congrats. GL&HH.

Nice find, reminds me of my old train set as a kid, I had a "HO" scale. Was a micro size. I can't remember what it was called. But I had all the stuff that went along side the tracks, buildings everything.

Nice Find!! I found a few Tootsietoys this year and I was thinking if I would drive my car into a big hole and cover it up then wait over 50 years would the paint still be intact:laughing7:
