Found this at an antique show for a dollar. I like the condition of the decals.
(The wagon was in my collection already. I love the patina).

Those trailers came with loads, tires or furniture. Nice find, and it looks good with the wagon.

The trailer looks to be in amazing condition! What an excellent find, especially for $1!

I found this picture in the "Collectors guide to Tootsietoys, third edition".
I'll bet it will be hard to find the furniture.

Ron, are you going to fix the bent wheel?

This is the earlier version of the trailer, made from 1958 - 1961

Affirmative on both questions.

Gerald. I like the earlier model as well. I'll need to keep my eye out for that one at the next Kalamazoo show.

Looks sweeter in person! It is a nice addition to the collection Ron. I new Gerald could not stay out of a tootsie toy post.
