I sold an early production Whizzer bike last year. What you have is a little later than the one I had. I think the bars on mine were much more motorcycle like that what I see in yours.

A "man" toy vs small toy.

Nice display of a good mix of early stylized and some later vehicles. I lean more toward the large Buddy L on the top of the case.

Glad you folks like the toys. I must admit I learned the idea of having city lights and people from an 80 year old gentleman.

Now, some info about the CAST IRON TOYS in the cabinet ...

There are several RARE repros of ORIGINAL RARE cast iron toys by the late master cast iron toy make: Don Lewis.
Don’s was a mater pattern maker & his quality of castings were top-notch. The TOY WORLD lost a great craftsman in April 2010.
The two RARE ones are: Hubley Packard Sedan (RED) & the CHECKER CAB (2nd shelf -Far Right). All of LEWIS toys have
THICK RAISED LETTERED "LEWIS" under them. So, it would be hard to pass them out as originals. Production quantity of each:50

The following pictures are from my friend's collection. He has been collecting them since 1970.

Picked this up today, 1920's Keystone Dump, really like the large pressed steel but it's usually a little cost prohibitive for me...was happy to find this one for a REALLY good price ! smile

Nice truck. What would a realistic value for it be?

Seen these anywhere between $325 & $575 depending on condition.....this one probably towards the lower end of that, not huge dollars but I'm somewhat frugal these days on my toy buying grin

Given the condition average $400-450. Nicely restored about $800 retail. Dump trucks are the most common toy truck you can find throughout the years even back in 1925 when your truck was new.

Here is one of my recent acquisitions for resale....
A 1938 Buddy L D-cab International. This was a ride-on toy and I'm now looking for a seat and steering/pull arm for it. This truck is about 23# in weight and slightly wider than the 1925 truck shown above.

Just bought this race car a couple of weeks ago. It was made by Buffalo Toys of Buffalo, New York. It's right around 24" in length.
