TONKA INDIAN WINNEBEGO


I bought this almost immaculate Tonka truck last Fall. A big heavy toy made of pressed steel. Has metal become so expensive today, the reason why things like this aren't made that way any more? That and also likely because god knows how many kids got hurt, or maybe worse just playing with metal. I found Winnebago this in a second hand store for only 8 bucks!! Turned around and sold it for almost $60. That was almost the cost alone of shipping it to the Western States.
The one big pressed steel model I sold but should have hung on to, was my made in Japan '65 Cadillac Deville. It was even bigger than this Tonka!
