Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Collection of Vintage Tiny Tonka Pressed Steel Toy Vehicles
This group of vintage toys is manufactured by Tonka of Mound, Minnesota, specifically from the Tiny Tonka product line. The items are primarily constructed of pressed steel with plastic tires, interiors, and accessory components. The collection features a variety of vehicle types, including a red open-top Jeep with embossed side panels and a white plastic interior. Fire department vehicles include a tractor-trailer aerial ladder truck with a white-painted metal articulating ladder and two cab-over pumper trucks equipped with rear plastic hose reels. Service vehicles are represented by a three-axle rear-loading garbage truck with a blue cab and a tilting white steel hopper, along with a cab-over pickup truck featuring a white plastic bed liner. A magenta dune buggy is also included, complete with a removable white plastic canopy. Several additional cab-over truck frames and bases in varying states of completeness are present. Notable markings include oval Tonka decals on several cabs and embossed Tonka logos on the steel and plastic undersides. The garbage truck chassis is marked with the number 55010. One red truck base features the number 5250.
Condition report:
The collection exhibits moderate to heavy play wear consistent with age. There is significant paint loss, chipping, and scratching across all vehicles, with the garbage truck and ladder truck showing the most extensive wear. Surface oxidation is present on various metal components, particularly the fire ladder and exposed axles. Several cab-over units are missing their clear plastic windshields. The collection consists of some incomplete units and detached components, including cabs missing their original trailers. Functional elements such as the ladder pivot and garbage truck hopper tilt remain operational.
