This truck is a Mack Wrigley's Gum truck, 4" long, produced from 1935-1941. This one is how I usually find them at feal markets (I paid $2 for it). This one is missing the tires, but also one front fender was broken, so I took my dremel and cut off the other side to match. Now I have to buy some tires someday. Sill a good piece for display.

If your at a flea market, and looking a Tootsietoy or other vintage pieces, if there are any breaks or missing pieces, don't pay a whole lot for them. I've seen people try to sell ones like this for $75 and won't budge, and they've had them for years.

Nice cars there free spirit. I like the Weetabix truck and the planes. I'm not sure who made the planes, but anything with USAF on it is very nice. Keep the pics coming, they're very nice!

thanks gerald the blue plane is made by high speed thats all it says on the bottom .
the other one is a no name brand .i guess you have the j.l. military muscle planes they were a nice little set .i collect a few of every thing cars planes trucks tanks and just a few bikes .no more pictures for a while moving day is closing in fast l.o.l

For tires for that truck, try some "o" rings from an auto parts store.
