Buddy L International dump truck Ride ‘Em *SOLD*

Buddy L International dump truck Ride em for sale

Here we have a fantastic Buddy L international ride on in mostly original condition.  -Circa 1938 and about 26″ long.  The seat is likely a replacement and in gray primer.

Tires and wheels along with the bed are in original and very good condition.  There is chipping from some play wear as expected.  The cab has original stickers in very good condition as shown.

There are minor blue touch ups around the grill top and some gray touch-ups on the roof on the door top section.  Coverage is about 1 to 2% of the toy, so these are very minor.

Beautiful and desirable toy!

Buddy “L” toys were originally manufactured by the Moline Pressed Steel Company, started by Fred A. Lundahl in 1910. The company originally manufactured automobile fenders and other stamped auto body parts for the automobile industry. The company primarily supplied parts for the McCormack-Deering line of farm implements and the International Harvester Company for its trucks. Moline Pressed Steel did not begin manufacturing toys until 1921. Mr. Lundhal wanted to make something new, different, and durable for his son Arthur. He designed and produced an all-steel miniature truck, reportedly a model of an International Harvester truck made from 18- and 20-gauge steel which had been discarded to the company’s scrap pile
