These nostalgic toys were first showcased at the New York Toy Show in 1922. "Buddy L" made a line of miniature sports cars, tractors, delivery vans, construction trucks, dump trucks, cement mixers, fire trucks, and more.  In the early 1900s, American toy manufacturers used tin, pressed steel/metal, and cast iron for toys. A pioneer in the steel-toy field, Fred Lundahl persuaded Marshall Field's and F. A. O. Schwarz to carry his line. He did very well until the Great Depression, then sold the company. 
These toys have become, nearly a century later, highly pursued after in the toy collectibles market with collectors. The first Buddy L toy was a miniature truck of pressed steel based on an actual truck manufactured for International Harvester. Buddy L toys were marketed simply as “toys for boys”.  
 
This truck is in "played with" condition, however it is still good.   It comes with 2 hand carts and 8 cases of coke bottles.  Please see pics for more details, or contact us.
