Glenn Woudenberg wrote me a note saying this pedal jeep was spotted at a Bazaar in Mumbai, India. That seems to me to be a good excuse to go to India. It kind of has a ‘high hood’ feel to it.  The wheels look similar to a Tri-ang.

If I weren’t saving for our March California trip, I’d bid on this pair.

“For your consideration is an Empire & Carolina Enterprises plastic jeep and trailer (1976). The jeep measures 16 inches long. These are in overall good condition with wear, marks, scratches, and bends. The trailer has a broken hook, but these will display very nicely.”

I don’t know how rare this toy is, but it looks like an interesting piece. I googled to find another example, but couldn’t locate one. This toy is located in Mexico, so know that before purchasing it. Given the Mad Max label on the box, I’m wondering if this is more like mid 1980s?

“VINTAGE RARE AND NICE, ALITALIA MITSUBISHI JEEP J52, MADE IN JAPAN CIRCA 70’S. BY THE EXTINCT FACTORY MADMAX SCALE 1/43, IN VERY GOOD CONDITIONS, IN BOX, I AM NOT EXPERT TO EXPLANE THE KIND OF ITEMS BUT I TRY TO WRITE THE BEST I KNOW, IF YOU ARE COLLECTOR OF THIS CAIN OF TOYS, PLEASE DON’T LET PASS THE OPORUNITY TO HAVE THEM IN YOUR HANDS, VERY, VERY RARE!!”

I don’t remember these toys in the old Sears Catalogs. The cover has a jeepish sort of vehicle.

“GILBERT RIDE-EM ERECTOR BOXED SET 15x21x5.5 deep box contains complete.From 1965. Box has creases, some missing surface paper.
Still displays Fine. Box lid and instructions show 5 different vehicles to be built including jeep, sports car, 3-wheel scooter, runabout and tractor. Instruction sheet has partially darkened with age

Instructions has been torn, all due to age. and wear and use!! This is an incredible Rare Erector Building set. 47 going on 48 Years OLD !!! SUPER VINTAGE !!! FOR ALL TOY COLLECTORS
This is the Ultimate Building Set, Builds, 5 different vehicles, all PARTS are accounted for. Box, shows wear, as shown on pictures. Please look at all pictures and message me any questions.
Obviously if this was Complete Mint from 1965 it would be worth thousands and thousands, probably not even have a known value. However these are rare and hard to find in any condition.
In 1965 A.C Gilbert Company went bankrupt in 1967, so with the financial issues, they didn’t make a massive run of production on sets before than.”

Here’s a rather inexpensive ride-on toy.

“Vintage Structo Ride on Pressed Steel Jeep Ride on. $75.00. See pictures for condition. Cash and local pick up only. Sold as is where is. Call with questions or offers. Call 216-9seven0-42zero9.”

This looks like a neat old toy.

“From warehouse find: super nice and now rare sturdy tinplate Fire Brigade Jeep with trailer.

The toy is completely made of thick tinplate, except for the figures, fire hose and ladders. It has a total length of 10½” (270 mm).

The toy was made by the small firm of Joyax of France, between 1953 and 1978.

The toy is in mint condition but has some minimal production traces.

It has a classic wire spring mechanism and in it comes in its absolutely stunning box. Please check the 4th picture where you can see that the manufacturer used recycled tin to produce these toys. The part of the text visible relates to a battery ;)”
