Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1035080 | Material: Pressed Steel |
| Vehicle Type: Dump Truck | UPC: Does not apply |
This is a vintage Pressed Steel Hydraulic Dump Truck. I've searched everywhere on the truck for some manufacturers mark and I can't find anything. The only decal on the truck is on the back showing "A3AK 19-93" and I don't know what that is referring to. The truck is impressively put together. It operates very well and includes more detail in the cab than Tonka, Buddy L, Wyandotte, Doepke type trucks. The door handles actually latch the doors closed and the cab interior has an upholste...red seats (see photo 9). It's made of mostly pressed steel. I don't know when it would have been made. It measures approximately 21 inches in length, 8 inches in height, and is quite heavy at nearly 9 pounds.Condition: The overall condition is excellent. The wheels all roll fine. The front wheels turn easily. The lever and catch on the dump bed work well. The hydraulics still work. The paint is very good with a small mark on the top of the hood, one on the roof of the cab, and one on the bed. For full information on condition, please see the photographs.Update: A fellow eBay member has advised me that this truck was manufactured in Russia and the decal on the back that says "19-93" indicates the year it was manufactured, 1993.This item is from my late father's collection. He had hundreds of these types of old toy trucks. They include manufacturers Structo, Buddy L, NY-LINT, Model Toys, Ertl, Tonka, Hubley, Smith Miller, Wyandotte, and more. Everything from fire trucks to construction trucks to delivery trucks. I'll be selling all of them as time allows.
