Hubley Cast Iron Pickup and Fire Trucks for Sale

 

We just purchased a nice vintage collection of Hubley Fire trucks and a pickup truck.  Details coming soon.  The fire truck has the original ladders and is in very good condition for its age; with original tires.

There is also a large AC Williams dump truck in the group.  Feel free to email in advance at toys(at) antiquetoys.com

Here’s a nice Hubley blurb about how paint was applied to these:  “Hubley’s casting process involved several steps. For a particular toy, bookend, or doorstop, metalworkers would first carve a wood form, or hammer out the basic design in metal. Pressing this form into finely compacted sand created an impression for molding. Cast iron heated to 3000 degrees was poured into the sand mold and, when cooled, the form would pop out. Rough edges would be filed away and the mold ready for mass production casting. Painters applied a base coat (usually white or cream but sometimes black) to cast figures whether toys or doorstops. Then, colorists used a variety of hues highlighting important details”  -Wiki
