The Complete Vintage Tonka Toy Trucks Catalouge.
Antique Toy Trucks Toy trucks have been around for centuries. Larger vehicles used to serve as models for toys in the early part of this century. In the early part of this century Toy trucks were generally modelled after the full sized ones that ran on roads. Arcade, Hubley, and Dent produced an amazing range of old toy trucks ranging right from toy dump trucks and tow trucks to delivery vans and even lifesaving equipment. An impressive variety of old toy trucks ranging from toy dump trucks and tow trucks to delivery vans and even lifesaving equipment were made by companies like Arcade, Hubley, and Dent. Also widespread were such highly specialized vehicles as water and pumper trucks. Many of these trucks were generally seen on the streets of early America.
Early on sheet-steel was used as a material and a number of "friction" trucks and vehicles we produced. However, cast iron soon became the primary material for toy trucks as the casting process allowed for more precise duplication of details when compared sheet steel. Cast Iron soon replaced sheet-steel as the basic material because it allowed for more precise reproduction of details.
The largest miniature trucks were called "construction toys". Made of heavy-gauge sheet steel, they were often more than 2' long and strong enough for small children to sit on. They were generally made of heavy grade steel,were more than 2 feet in lenght and were strong enough to hold the weight of a child. Although they were just toys, most were very accurate imitations of dump trucks, hauling trucks, timber trucks and even into the earth movers, steam shovels, derricks, sand loaders, pile drivers, overhead cranes, and concrete mixers trucks. The best-known are trucks are the famous Buddy "L" line made by Moline.
Old Buddy "L" Toy Trucks The Buddy "L" line of trucks and vehicles and construction equipment were manufactured to withstand rough use and subjection to dampness and dirt. The vehicles and construction equipment under the Buddy "L" line were produced to survive tough use and subjection to dampness and dirt. Their baked-enamel finish was intended to be rust resistant, and the steel was strong enough to sustain an adult's weight. Therefore, many early Buddy "L" antique truck toys have survived. Nonetheless, as they are more than 50 years old, most are found today with rusted or repainted surfaces. Most of the trucks that can be seen today are almost 50 years old and are found with rusted or repainted surfaces.
Vintage Moline Toy Trucks Established in 1910, the Moline Pressed Steel Company produced full-size truck cabs and fenders for International Trucks until 1921, when Moline's founder, Fred Lundahl, began to manufacture the Buddy "L" toys, named after his son. During the 1920s, the firm used the same materials and methods of construction for both its toys and its full-size auto bodies, which explains the great strength of the toys. The toys owe their great strength to the fact that the toys were made with very materials and the constructional features that were used for manufacturing the trucks. The resources and methods for building toys were changed in the 1930s. This practice was however discontinued after the 1930's.
Sturditoy Trucks - A real toy collector’s item because very few a left intact. Extensively sold during the 1920s and '30s, Sturditoy antique trucks competed strongly with the Buddy "L" toys.

The firm manufactured 15 models, including an American Railway Express truck, an ambulance, and several dump trucks. The firm produced a wide variety of trucks which included American Railway Express trucks, ambulances, and several dump trucks. Sturditoys were as stylish as Buddy "L" and Keystone vehicles, but were made of a lighter-gauge steel. As a result, they are usually found damaged or missing parts.
Tonka Toy Trucks Established in 1947, TONKA brand toy trucks were developed and made by the Mound Metalcraft Company until 1991 after which the company was taken over by Hasbro.
