(I know a small boy about 3 who lives in the Kootenays in B.C. Canada, who might like to carry it in his back pocket.) There were two small boys lived in this house in the late 1940’s. Another small boy lived here in the 60’s. My guess is that it dates back to the 40’s. Do any of you have any knowledge of this toy in Great Britain?
We are not ignoring you, I just think very slowly. Could you post a picture of the van? It should be identifiable if it has some paint left. Does it have metal tyres, or has it got rims that would have had rubber doughnuts for tyres. I remember chewing those, this must be some time ago.
