Ever seen one of these?

Got permission to hunt a private school in an older well to do neighborhood. Found an old teacher's bell and a brass door knob from the 30's. And a whole lot of trash.

Well I was sorting the trash for it to go into the recycling barrels I have and noticed two unusual items. I cleaned them up and was surprised at what I found.

The first item is a compact lid. The date when it was made is 1910.

The second is a toy truck. It's made of aluminum. I can't find anything on the internet on anything like it. Anybody know anything about it?

I don't know anything helpful, but dang, how neat is that! Very cool truck, neat compact too. The truck looks so... Modern I want to say... in a 50s kind of way maybe.

I think your truck looks like this one.

BINGO!!!!

This is why I love this forum!!! Rarely does a find go unidentified. Thank you so much.

At first I thought the first pic was a Merry Widow tin, but its too, jumbo! :wow:

Cool finds!!

It'd be cool to straighten it out, and shine it up on the buffer...

Cool truck!
