Tootsie Toy Company Mack Tow Truck

[bvannada]

Found this Tootsie Toy Company Mack Tow Truck today. Anybody ever found one of these? Has a little damage to the cab and one of the back wheel was in the hole with it. I used a Fisher F2 it hit in the 70s dime range. Thanks for any input. The house was built on the 1940's and the truck was about 3 inches. Do these hold any value as is?

I don't know about the value but it's cool

Thanks, I was pretty stoked to pull it out of the hole. Never found a vintage die cast before so its been a good day.

I believe this is your truck: 1947. (with TOOTSIETY MADE IN U.S.A." on four lines).

that truck on ebay has been repainted. i doubt they painted that truck yellow in the 1940's.
