Vintage Tonka Toys - a photo on Flickriver

Vintage Tonka Toys

            These old Tonka toys were sitting abandoned on decaying plywood in a barn. The farmer was selling  all toys and some vintage furniture.  Tonka Toys was created as a brand in 1955 and soon found success with their line of all-metal trucks, particularly the Mighty Tonka line. Tonka Trucks have become increasingly collectable over the years. As an example, the 1958 Big Mike dump truck with snow plow and hydraulic accessories will sell for $1000 in the original box. But this farmer's set is worth little -- the trucks are all rusted. Photo was No. 266 on Explore, June 30 2012.
