MANOIL CAST TOYS

[rrth]

Found these in the same spot. Under the concrete stepping stones at a 1950's home. They were made by Mainoil Manufacturing in New York. The company was in business from the 1930's to 1959. Can anyone help me date them? I think the Howitzer is a WWI weapon. The Zeppelin Car is from the 1930's.

I agree I've seen the Zepplin car before those are freakin cool finds would be fun to try and restore them cant help with the age I would guess the 20s or 30s. Well done. Tommy

Really nice finds! C, I would say the howitzer is depicting a WW l gun. Agree 30s on the car.

THANK YOU!

I couldn't find any source to tell me the actual year(s) each Manoil Toy was in production. I'll keep looking. Anyone know a book on old USA made toys?

The way I read that blurb I posted, I thought indicated the toy cars were manufactured in 34! Sounds like they transitioned to toy soldiers in 35. Just the way I read it and I could be wrong.

Those are 2 great looking old toys. I would put those in a nice display case.

OK.. I'll display them as CIRCA 1934....
Thanks!
