One a much smaller scale: While gardening, I found an old metal miniature toy car. It had imprinted on it, ”Gr. Britain,” “Storage Van.” The wheels turn, and a metal flap at the back lifts and folds back, manually. The red paint job is visible in places. (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?
