Buying vintage space toys Early on sheet-steel was used as a material and a number of "friction" trucks and vehicles we
produced. However, cast iron soon became the primary material for toy trucks because the casting process allowed for more
accurate replication of details than sheet steel.
The largest miniature trucks were called "construction toys". Made of heavy-gauge sheet steel, they were often more than 2' long
and strong enough for small children to sit on. Although toys, many were very accurate reproductions of dump trucks, hauling
trucks, timber trucks and even into the earth movers, steam shovels, derricks, sand loaders, pile drivers, overhead cranes, and
concrete mixers trucks. The best-known are part of the famous Buddy L line made by Moline pressed steel toys Old Buddy "L"
Toy Trucks
The Buddy "L" line of trucks and vehicles and construction equipment were manufactured to withstand rough use and exposure to
dampness and dirt. Their baked-enamel finish was designed to be rust resistant, and the steel was strong enough to support an
adult's weight. Consequently, many early Buddy "L" antique truck toys have survived. Nonetheless, because they are more than
50 years old, many are found today with rusted or repainted surfaces. Green Buddy L Bus 1928-1933 Antique Steelcraft toy

Vintage Buddy L Moline Toy Trucks
Established around 1912, the Moline Pressed Steel Company made full-size truck cabs and fenders for International Trucks until
1921, when Moline's founder, Fred Lundahl, began to produce the Buddy "L" toys, named after his son. During the 1920s, the firm
used the same materials and methods of construction for both its toys and its full-size auto bodies, which explains the great
durability of the toys. The materials and techniques for building pressed steel toys were modified in the 1930s during the end of
the Buddy L Flivver run the most popular of the Buddy L Car era. Free antique toy appraisals

Widely sold during the 1920s and '30s, Sturditoy antique trucks competed strongly with the Buddy L Toys. The firm produced
15 models, including an American Railway Express truck, an ambulance, and several dump trucks. Sturditoys were as stylish as
Buddy "L" and Keystone vehicles, but were made of a lighter-gauge steel. As a result, they are often found damaged or missing
parts. Sturditoy trucks 1924-1933 Buddy L Flivver Price Guide Buddy L Flivver Roadster Buddy L Flivver Dump Cart
