I am a collecter of late 1950's - early 1960's pressed steel trucks such as Tonka, Buddy L, Structo, and Nylint.

The two fire trucks in my collection are Buddy L and Structo hook and ladders from the 60's. I look forward to adding to the fire truck aspect of my collection. I'm especially interested in obtaining the Structo Rescue truck pictured alongside the ladder truck in the ad that is pictured below. My favorite fire truck is the Buddy L Ladder Truck.

I also collect original adverising of the trucks in my collection. The catalog page pictured is from the 1965 Montgomery Ward Christmas Catalog.

My "Ultimate Favorite Truck" is my 60's Buddy L Merry-Go-Round Truck. I received it for Christmas one year as a young boy...only played in the house with this one...thus the minty condition. It is pictured below.
