Love to see posts on all the toy car finds. Wonder who has found one of those rare ones.

I have quite a few that I've dug. The ones I really like are the tootsie toys from the 1930's to the 1950's. Most from that period are 5 to 6 inches long. The newer ones from 60's to today are of the 1 inch variety. I'll try and post some pics tonight of the nicer ones that I've dug.

Here is a sample of some of my older toy cars. Most are tootsie toy cars from the 1930's to 1950's. Most of the time
you dig one of these it is damaged and missing pieces. Sometimes you get lucky and dig one that's complete and whole!

thats a great little collection though. I like finding the unique pieces. Even if their ultra rare and you have one thats in bad condition you still have one. And it has character.

I found that exact same car a couple of weeks ago but yours is nicer. So it's a TootsieToy? Never thought I'd see another one posted here, especially not this soon.

They can bring back some memories.

I knew my Tootsie Roadster wasn't rare, but 3 on the same website. Guess we just had Good Taste or Good Luck in finding them. :thumbsup:

Ford must have been a popular model as my convertible is a Ford also.

Here is my car collection that I have found over the years... I wouldn't have a clue if any were of any value... they are just sitting in a bag waiting for something to do.
