Arcade Cast Iron Mack Dump Truck Old Toy *SOLD*

Arcade Cast Iron Mack Dump Truck- Old Toy For Sale

We have that Arcade Mack truck that everyone enjoys.  In fact we like to “play” with this one ourselves, tipping the bed and rolling around on the steel wheels.

Length is close to 12″.

The Mack Truck cast iron appears free of breaks or cracks.  Wheels are the earlier Arcade toys solid and spoked version, a nice ca 1929 earlier touch.  The bed is spring loaded and works well, popping up at command.  Pulleys and ropes guide the raising and lowering.

The blue paint is extremely worn and chipped but original.  Wheels have the proper wear and appear original.  The driver appears original and intact as do the earlier stickers.

Overall this is an A+ of a sculpt and large toy.  It simply had previous ownership and heavy construction use by Henry, as scratched under the bed.
