  • New Era Toys Marv Silversteen Unida Biscuit Delivery Van OOAK! This is another toy from the amazing collection of my friend, Richard Carmosino. This Marv Silversteen special is a true One Of A Kind collectible from New Era Toys. Sadly, Marv passed away in 2011 and many of his fantastic creations were auctioned by Bertoia Auctions in 2013. I have no idea how Richard came about owning this, but it is a truly beautiful creation based on the 1920's Buddy L cab and frame. Unfortunately, the toy was displayed in such a way that the artwork on one side of the toy has faded from sun exposure. The other side still has original, vibrant colors. That aside, New Era collectibles are skyrocketing in value due to their unique subject matter and high-quality production. This is an awesome, LARGE pressed steel creation that is a stand-alone piece and has been numbered by Marv. You will never see another like it! The toy measures 25" in length, 9" wide and is 13" tall.
  • This is a beautiful, Smith Miller L Mack Aerial Ladder Fire Truck, ALL 100% Original and in fantastic shape! I acquired this toy from the original owner, who played with this (very little) as a child. The fine detail casting of Smith Miller toys is undeniably some of the early best in existence. The L Mack Fire Truck has a few paint scrapes but retains most of its original shiny red finish. We cleaned and restored this toy very lightly, with no paint touch ups at all. We disassembled and cleaned the ladder assembly, and inspected, lubed, and tested the gear box for function. Sporting the original ladder strings, the ladder fully extends as it should. All gears function as they should, with the exception of the rear tiller wheel that is naturally stationary. This massive toy measures a whopping 36" in length and the ladder extends over 48".  It also comes with its original two-piece extension ladder mounted in the trailer. Another impressive early triumph for the Smith Miller Company. As a side note, when this toy was first released to the public in the 1950's, it had a resale value of $50 and was a toy that was considered for wealthier families. This will be an excellent addition to any large diecast or pressed steel truck collection, fire truck collection or as a gift for that collector of fire equipment memorabilia.
  • 1950s Ichiko Space Patrol battery operated car is in wonderful, working condition! This extremely rare toy has been in my personal collection since 2010, when I received it incomplete and in pieces. It was a very expensive purchase then, simply because the battery-operated version is SO RARE. An excellent quality Space Patrol, with its original box, sold on eBay in 2013 for nearly $32,000. Such a fun toy! When the switch is engaged, the rear drive wheel spins with clicking sound, the radar dish rotates, the Astronaut driver waves his 'No. 1' flag and the space gun on the cowl sweeps back and forth while the gun barrel flashes! The front wheels are poseable so that the car can proceed straight or drive in a circle. The tightest circle is approximately 4 feet. Please watch the You Tube video of the RARE toy in action! The toy has seen extensive playwear and the litho shows age. There has been a little touch up with ink to some of the litho.  The toy was missing parts that Uncle fabricated to complete, such as the radar dish, 'No.1' flag and the flashing gun and mount. The drive mechanism is quite sound and strong. There was considerable wear to the bottom of the car, so it was chemically stripped and repainted and polished. The toy still sports the original windshield and Astronaut head. One new earmuff was fabricated and installed. I'm listing this toy at a very high price due to its rarity. I will entertain reasonable offers, and this is available locally as well as being available for international shipping.
  • 1957 Tonka Tow Truck Official AA Service, a must have by Tonka collectors. This is the third year of the Ford style, round-fender truck toys that Tonka will produce. This pressed steel tow truck is in extremely nice, original condition and shows light playwear. It has never been cleaned (other than dusting) and has never been polished so the extraordinary patina is tremendous! A great piece for your pressed steel toy collection!
  • Vintage Doepke Model Toys (Rossmoyne, Ohio) Euclid Bottom Dump Construction Vehicle, in excellent original condition and procured from the original owner. This excellent condition toy has seen virtually no play action. The paint is nearly flawless and the only item that could be considered a drawback is the reproduction exhaust muffler that has been installed where it belongs. This toy, along with the two Smith Miller Aerial Ladder Fire Truck and Army Materials truck were owned by the same gentleman, who played with these toys very little, yet his parents hung onto them until he was an adult and he kept them all these years. Vintage Doepke Model Toys Company was known for making realistic, heavy construction vehicles that could have almost passed for salesman samples or trade stimulators, primarily because of their accurate sale and operable features. The Euclid Bottom dump is such a vehicle as the cab is fully articulated with steerable wheels and will bend and conform to the landscape when travelling. The dump bed can be loaded with soil and when the vehicle approaches the area for the soil to be dispersed, a lever on the side will dispense the soil exactly as the real machine would do. The Euclid Bottom Dump measures 27 1/2" in length, 7" wide and 7" tall. It is made of heavy gage pressed steel with rubber tires and exhaust. A perfect shelf display for that vintage, heavy construction equipment enthusiast on your shopping list!
  • This is a beautiful, Smith Miller L Mack Military Materials Truck, ALL 100% Original and in fantastic shape! I acquired this toy from the original owner, who played with this (very little) as a child. The fine detail casting of Smith Miller toys is undeniably some of the early best in existence. The L Mack Military has a few paint scrapes but retains its original flat patina, olive green paint, original canvas and tie down string (NEVER REMOVED!), two large wooden crates and two wooden barrels. I believe it originally came with three barrels. This would be an excellent addition to any large diecast or pressed steel truck collection, or as a gift for that Military or Armed Forces collector of memorabilia.
  • Texaco Fire Engine Chief Truck Gasoline Vehicle 1960s AMF WEN MAC Made in USA with the original box and original parts. The fire truck was made in the USA in the early 1960's. This toy was a premium purchase that was available at Texaco Gasoline Service Stations and was wildly popular due to its impressive 25" in length. The toy comes with a garden hose attachment. When used in conjunction with the two rubber side mounted hoses and attached at the pump point on the side of the engine, the water cannon on the rear will dispense a spray for realistic play! A very nice condition toy that has never been used with water. The metal is crisp and rust free. This makes for an incredible display piece as it is in very near mint condition with its illustrated accessory bag.
  • Yonezawa Lincoln Sundeck Convertible XL 500 - This stunning, friction drive concept car is a very rare and desirable TEAL color model. The Sundeck is more commonly seen in a bright red or bright blue color. This is one of the many Yonezawa concept tin friction cars made in the late 1950's. The original tinted canopy is in remarkable original condition and the toy finish has very few minor imperfections. Very little tire wear, excellent friction power and the faint painted script is quite clear on the bottom side of the car. This is one of Uncle's most prized possessions! For those that already own a Sundeck and need a replacement canopy, Uncle Al's Toys is your only source for a replacement!
  • Nylint Do It Best Home Improvement Semi Truck and Trailer new in box. The truck's cab is made out of plastic and pressed steel. The trailer is all pressed steel. The side of the trailer reads DO IT BEST home improvement products, Best Quality, Best Value, Best Selection. The side and front of the cab reads DO IT BEST ALL ACROSS AMERICA. I purchased this example from the 'Do It Best', Roselle (Illinois) Lumber Company on Irving Park Road in the late 1990's. There is a special vertical Roselle Lumber magnetic business card attached to the front of the trailer. This almost qualifies as a private label toy, never removed from its original packaging.
