| | | 1940s English Trix Tinplate Pushalong Lorry(Reference #07-9-22)
Made by Trix in the immediate post-war period, this tinplate pushalong lorry measures 3" long. Its simple, clean-cut lines speak eloquently of a period when materials of all kinds were in short supply. Apart from a few minor chips, the lorry is in very good condition. (#) US$50.00

|  | 1952 UK Triang Minic 115M Plastic W/U Dump Truck(Reference #4-5-48)
For some reason, the TRIANG 115M MINIC DUMP TRUCK is a difficult toy to find these days. Perhaps it was not very popular at the time, and in consequence, was made in fewer numbers than other items in the same range. This example is in working order, but please note that no key is supplied. The overall condition is good, but there is a sort of mottled effect to the plastic, which may be original or the effects of ageing. We do not know what has caused this, but the appearance is not displeasing, and is mainly confined to the upper side of the chassis. The dual steering wheel is missing, as it always was a particularly fragile feature of this toy. The all-plastic dump truck is 4 inches long, has no cracks or damage to the body, and has rubber tyres. The lever operated tipping mechanism also still works. Lost your one in the sandpit all those years ago? Then why not treat yourself to a replacement? (#) US$30.00

| 1950s English Tin W/U Steamroller(Reference #9-12-05pp)
Although this delightful tinplate and wind-up steamroller toy isn't marked in any way, it was probably made in England in the 1950s. It measures 6 inches long and is in full working order. It has an integral key that, when wound, sends the steamroller backwards and forwards in a truly realistic manner. It also makes that charming clacking noise so beloved of toy manufacturers. The steamroller is in very acceptable condition for its age; all it suffers from is age-related wear and scuffing to the roof of the cab and the side of one wheel, and the inevitable wear to the rims of the wheels and roller where they have made contact with the ground over the years. If steamrollers are your passion, then this could well be the item for you. (#) US$38.00
