Dayton Friction Toy Works Pressed Steel Police Patrol Truck for Sale *SOLD*

Dayton Friction Toy Works Pressed Steel Police Patrol Truck

We are offering one of the finest Dayton toys for sale here, and a highly sought-after C-cab patrol.

The original and extremely difficult-to-find driver is included.  The tires are original, but half of the front one cracked off.   The paint is original, but there is a kid bb-gun set of holes!  Kids!

The motor is seized at the moment.  We will look at it again and wonder if it is just bound up temporarily.

We know of only two others, and each is in lesser condition.  Our Dayton Police Patrol is a winner.
