A big thanks to Roger Martin for spotting this at an Ohio antique store and giving me first crack at it. He even wrangled 10% off the listed price. Neither Mitch Carter (who came by the hospital to visit dad — thanks Mitch) nor I nor Roger have ever seen one.

Hamilton? Pedal Jeep Portland, IN **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $145. I’ve since learned that Sherwood later became Hamilton.

Seller believes this to be a Sherwood pedal jeep, but I’m leaning toward Hamilton. Thanks to Roger for sharing it.

“To the best of my knowledge, this is a sherwood Jeep from the ‘50’s. It does work, but pedals have been replaced with wood.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.

The seller on Facebook is trying to figure out a value for these Victory Toys out of the Netherlands. Here’s a post published about these jeeps.

“I’m trying to come up with an approximate value of these two cast iron WWII toy Jeep’s. What I do know thus far is that they were manufactured by Victory Toys out of Holland. I see pictures of them online and more than a few times I see the word rare. If someone could assist me with a fair price for them I’d truly appreciate it. Thank you! Will ship once I derive a price 49420”
