Tootsietoy Racecar No 7

[DuaneG]

I found this tootsietoy car a few weeks ago with my Garrett AT Pro. Just wondering if there are any experts here that can give a little info on this find.

If your sink has a sprayer try using it with warm water to remove the rest of the dirt from the bottom to see if it reveals the exact model name. Then look here: Tootsietoys Pre-War History by Clint Seeley

Most likely, it originally had rubber wheels, which almost always disintegrate after being buried for years. That would date your car to around the 1940's. If it did have plastic wheels, it would be 1950's, but IMO I think it's 1940's. Either way, Tootsietoys are awesome!
