RARE 1956 TONKA Fire Pumper Truck 1 OF 100 SALESMAN SAMPLE w/BULLET TAILLIGHTS
SOLD $1,250.00 Sold: Mar 7, 2024 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
DESCRIPTION: This is a rare example of the Tonka 1956 No. 5 Fire Pumper made with bullet taillights. The regular 1956 Tonka Pumper did not have these taillights when sold to the public. There were only 100 of this version made in 1956 for Tonka Salesmen. MATERIALS: Pressed steel truck with rubber tires and hoses; and diecast hose reel, other trim, and fire hydrant DIMENSIONS: The overall length is 17”. CONDITION: EXCELLENT CONDITION – BARELY PLAYED WITH, IF EVER. There is just a bit of aging with storage for nearly 70 years! The hydrant has some paint chips. This may be one of the best-known examples left of this rare truck! It is the best of the best when it comes to collectible Tonka Toys and would be the pinnacle of most pressed steel car and truck collections ALWAYS CHECK MY LISTINGS FOR OTHER INTERESTING ITEMS! FYI: Our pictures are taken under bright incandescent camera lighting or using a flash that sometimes fades out the colors or makes them appear brighter. This also helps to show all distinguishing features and possible flaws on the item. Most of our antiques and collectibles have much darker, deeper, richer colors than appear in some of our photos, especially reds that tend to turn orange in appearance. Most of the items are photographed on a solid black or bright white background. If you have a question about the color of this item, please feel free to ask questions, because from my monitor to your monitor, the colors may appear different. So, you might think you are bidding on a rare color, when it might be a common color. Please pay immediately upon the receipt of the invoice from eBay sandboxant If you win more than one item that ends this week, I will combine the items for shipment and charge shipping according to weight. I will send a revised invoice with correct shipping charges shortly after the end of all my auctions. If you should decide that you wish the items to still be shipped separately, please notify us upon the end of the auction, so we will not revise the invoice. Thanks! (Condition: Pre-Owned)
