Andy shared this unusual toy. I expect it is fairly rare, given I can only find one other that’s been auctioned. There is, however, a REPLICA box for one of these for sale on eBay (see pics at bottom).

It’s missing the siren/horn on front and isn’t in perfect shape, but the price seems good. Thanks to Andy for sharing.

“Vintage STRUCTO kiddie ride-on toy. Fire Dept. No. 26 Pumper Truck 25-1/2” long 10” wide 13” high”

This Jumpin jeep has some damage (as noted by the Facebook seller), but is still a fairly rare item. Thanks to Andy for sharing it.

“This vintage wind-up toy is perfect for collectors who appreciate the craftsmanship of the past. Made by Marx, this tin litho Smokey Sam Fire Chief Jeep Whoopie Car is a must-have for any vintage toy enthusiast. The brand, Marx, is known for producing high-quality toys that stand the test of time. This particular toy is vintage and has been used, but it still retains a lot of its original charm. It features a wind-up mechanism that spins the fire chief’s head. This toy has certainly been loved, and there’s some minor damage to the fire hat, front of the Jeep, and ladder on one side (see photos).”

Bill shared this rather high price for a Nelly Belle pedal jeep.

“A 1954 NellyBelle Jeep pedal car in unrestored but still in usable condition, well as long as you’re on the smaller of stature side. Perfect for a mancave or to bring along when you show off your real CJ2A. Now a bit of history thanks to Onlinebicyclemuseum.co.uk ‘NellyBelle’ was among the most popular items of Roy Rogers memorabilia sold during the currency of the TV show, (and since), and jeep models were sold in various forms. A small diecast model was marketed by Stuart, and a 15″ plastic ‘Nellybelle’ was sold by Ideal, complete with a trailer, character figures and Trigger the horse. Marx made a large pressed-steel version, as well as a plastic model in its Roy Rogers Rodeo Ranch Set. The pressed-steel Marx model was the most accurate in colour to the original: with a plastic Pat Brady driving and Dale Evans in the passenger seat, it was 11.75″ long and 5″ wide, and included the cut-out below the windscreen on the passenger side through which Roy Rogers shot his gun. Saddle up pardner!”

Gary shared this FC Stakebed model for sale. It’s missing the tailgate, hubcap, and part of the windshield. Maybe a good price could be had on this.

“This is a nice smaller size collectible in played condition. Missing one hubcap, tailgate, and part of the windshield. I have seen these referenced as friction cars. It does make a winding sound when pushed on the floor, but doesn’t “take off” (if that’s what it’s supposed to do).”
