  • The Sonsco Ichido Gypsy Fortune Teller is a battery operated toy produced by Ichida, Japan. A coin placed in the coin slot activates the toy. She has several movements, including a fortune card drops from her sleeve. This is an absolutely stunning, original toy. Unfortunately, it doesn't have all of the original cards as there were 10 each for boys and girls.  Specifically, there are 3 original boy cards and 2 original girl cards. Gypsy's robes are nearly factory-perfect with the original red lace trim and pearl necklace, and she also has her original red cloth and crystal ball. The gypsy, as shown in the You Tube video, operates perfectly and dispenses the fortune cards in perfect order. In fact, when I found this toy, she sprang to life after a light dusting and a little cleaning of the battery contacts! Probably the nicest I've owned in my 40+ years of collecting! Additionally, if you have an original box. this is the perfect complement to complete your collectible! Zero disappointments here!

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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!

  • 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.

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!
