Today to celebrate Vintage Thingy Thursday with the Colorado Lady, I have a guest blogger who will share a vintage piece from his garbage truck collection - here he is...Baby Boy!
I bought this truck in Oregon at an antique shop in Coos Bay. It is made by Tonka and I believe it is from the 1960s.
This is the oldest truck I have in my collection. I have about 30 different garbage trucks that I have collected since I was 3 years old.
What an amazing truck....being a tomboy as a kid, I remember neighbor boys having trucks like this...and I always wanted one! Great looking truck. Have a great VTT!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great truck. I never had any of these products, but I have seen them over the years with children playing with them. That is an interesting collection.I participate in Pink Saturday. Beverly, our hostess, likes us to feature a blogger we have not visited before. I would like to introduce you this Saturday to all the pink ladies. You have a nice blog.
ReplyDeleteWhy Baby Boy what an awesome collection you have there. I'd love to see more of it someday. I can remember my brother playing with Tonka trucks and they were practically indestructible. He never had a garbage truck though. Great post!
ReplyDeletemy sons would love to see this truck! their fave it seems! very vintagey! thanks for sharing. happy VTT
ReplyDeleteI remember lusting for Tonka trucks as a child. I didn't get any because I was a girl, but I never missed the opportunity to play with the one's I saw.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :)
That's an interesting idea for a collection. I remember playing with dump trucks, though I didn't have any trucks myself.
ReplyDeleteTerrific truck...can we see some more of the collection?
ReplyDeleteGreat truck. I have a few from my childhood and I display them in my son's room with toys put in them. They are a little too sharp and rusty for him to actually play with so I keep them on top of his bookcase though.
ReplyDeleteNice truck! I've seen dump trucks but never a garbage truck before. Cool!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun collection! Hoping to see more! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT,
Sally
Cool! Toys and vintage ones are fun to hoard I mean collect! ♣olive♣
ReplyDeleteGREAT truck! I remember my brother having lots of Tonka Trucks in the 1960's. My sisters and I would ride Barbie in them as often as we could get away with it :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

What a cute truck. I have some old cars somewhere of my husbands.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a metal truck at all the sales for over a year and if you find one the price is toooooo high. I love yours and you are lucky to have so many. I've seen them decorating for Christmas with trees sitting in the back and a wreath on the front bumper. So Cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome collection. Coming over to say hi from LV.
