Hi all,
I found this cast iron truck a few weeks back at an estate sale. I've looked around on the net, and I've found several similar trucks, but not this one. It's cast iron, 11 inches long, looks like it was red at one time. I haven't seen a truck with such a long bed. Also, it has a steering wheel, and the original wheels. I don't think it ever had a driver. I don't see a stamp on it anywhere. Is it real? A reproduction? Can anyone tell me about it, and about how much it might be worth?

Thanks! pups and goodwill finds april 2014 031.webppups and goodwill finds april 2014 027.webppups and goodwill finds april 2014 029.webppups and goodwill finds april 2014 028.webppups and goodwill finds april 2014 030.webppups and goodwill finds april 2014 021.webp

looks vintage to me. some of those older cast iron trucks carry some value. maybe search some vintage toy sites. definately worth looking into.
 
I'd say its genuine anywhere from $10 to a couple hundred bucks maybe. :icon_scratch: Not to sure so don't take my word for it. :dontknow:

Keep @ it and HH !! :hello2:
 
Thank y'all for helping! I've been looking at vintage toy sites, but I haven't found anything that looks like it. I will keep looking.
 
Looks pretty real to me. The wear doesn't follow a typical repro pattern and the points where the parts meet are very tight which is a good sign. If you look at the newer reproductions, when you see big gaps thats a no no because people try to over-do the vintage look by making it look like it was put together by a 5 year old :)
