Ride-em Erector Set from 1960s **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Features, toys This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

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.”

Wind up Fire Brigade Jeep

• CATEGORIES: Features, toys This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

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 ;)”

1950s Photo of Pedal Jeep

Hugh forwarded this photo. It looks to me to be very similar to the unidentified jeep (rusted white and blue one) from France at this link: http://cj3b.info/Toys/RidingToysID.html It’s got the high hood, the right wheels, a similar seat and more.

Tour de France Jeep Toy on eBay

• CATEGORIES: International, toys This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Craig spotted this rare jeep. I wish I had the extra nickels to compete for it. It includes four plastic bicycles, too.

“Up for auction is a very nice old unused Tour de France car with 4 bikes. It is in Original Box. The Jeep with the bikes is 5.25 inches long x 2.75 inches at the front fenders. The front of the windshield says Tour de France with 2 French flags. It is a very pretty mint green color This toy shows no signs of any use. The box and toy are in very good condition. The box shows 2 figures in the front seat, but it does not appear to have them, not that they are missing. There are no marks where they might have been. Ask questions and bid carefully. Paypal ships fastest. Thanks”

The owner of this unusual jeep kit from Western Auto would like more information. Anyone ever seen or remember one of these? I spent some time trolling through “western auto” ads from past years on eBay, but didn’t have any luck

Here is a collection of scanned Western Auto ads on Flickr, but no jeep like the one below.

Unique Pedal Jeep Battle Creek, MI **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Features, toys This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $750.

This is a restored model jeep of some type. I just looked to see if I have plans for this one, but I didn’t find any.

“Hello, I am selling a very unique pedal jeep. It was built in the late 50’s by a craftsman/machinist, partly from scratch and partly using other pedal car parts, which makes it almost like folk art. Has steel and wood body parts, All wood parts are new (but follow original pattern) and has new wheels w/ball bearings. It has a suspension which is unusual for a pedal car, chain drive, and steering via steering gear box which is also rare and unusual. I have not found one like it ANYWHERE, it has been restored in an army jeep theme. Come check it out in person! Would be a really great addition for a collector looking for rare pedal cars, this is more rare than a Garton.”
