Picked a tall toy today so I could sneak in the two shell quart oil bottles I refound yesterday. The picture didn’t do either justice.
So Ron F you are pretty well versed, how common are these Lincoln toys in the USA? I am guessing I see them as they were made locally.
Ha ha, I'm not all that well versed. I'm more like a kid that never stopped collecting toys. If I find something that I like. It doesn't matter if it's rare or common. I wish that I could be more help. It's probably rarer here in the states? It looks like a fun toy to put on the shelf, and look at. Or just play in the sand box with the grandkids. But a Cool find for sure! Thanks Ron........
No grand kids yet for me, thanks for the reply. These toys are close to the 1/16 scale that farm toys use, really nice size for playing with, and a nice size for a shelf someday.
Lincoln toys was a direct competitor of Marx and Wyandotte and made similar size and style toys. Not really a whole lot of info on the Company...other than this. Lincoln Toys (historymuseum.ca)
How about some more Japan tin... Bandai Japan Lotus Elan Haji Japan '57 Ford Wagon Yonezawa Japan Rolls Royce Cragstan Japan Mercedes Bandai Japan Ford Mustang
Jack I like your cool collection of tin cars. Also your knowledge of vintage toys also. Here’s a photo of mine. Yeah, I was that kid! lol Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Yeah Ron, we're cut from the same cloth. I was a spoiled rich kid and I destroyed my toys...cuz I knew I would just get more. The difference is, You KEPT yours PS. Oh that poor Nomura '56 Wagon I do see a lot of good hubcaps in your junkyard though...hubcaps are worth more than gold in the Japan tin world...they're always missing.

Here is a new - old- one. Rexal is a drug store chain here in the great white north. This unit needs some work, I have 2 trailers so I guess that gives me a fleet.
Although I am not really into collecting old toys,sometimes they just seem to gravitate toward me or my shop.Yesterday my neighbor down the street walked up to the shop and asked if I still had an old gun he had done some work on for me and was I interested in either selling or trading it. The gun in question was a post WWII era Hotchkiss sub gun that I had bought as a DEWAT(DEactivated WAr Trophy)a long time ago with the idea of making it functional again(not a really good idea).He had made a replacement(non-firing)receiver for it and I was going to hang it up in my shop but never found the room for it. Anyway his item to trade was an old Buddy L steam shovel that was made somewhere around 1929. He had bought it several years ago and his wife told him it couldn't be in the house so it sat in his garage gathering dust. Someone had re-painted it at some point in time and did a pretty credible job.He also mentioned that someone had made reproductions of these but they were somewhat different from the originals and this one he verified was original. It is in excellent working condition and the shovel mechanism is quite intricate and works perfectly. The gun is likely worth more than the shovel but Scott has done me several favors in the past and as I would likely have never put it up I would rather see someone have it that appreciates it. He is also a quite capable prototype machinist so I think he might get it functioning again. Anyway here is my newest"toy".

...And for some different tin...this 1930s-40s Planters Peanut embossed counter display jar with a tin-litho lid. I found it in Bonnie's Mom's house when we cleaned it out to sell. It appears to be NOS, never used and the litho on the tin lid is near mint
Thanks Jack , you must have the largest collection of made in Japan toy cars in existence. Also love those Planters peanuts containers. Our family would visit Alantic City a lot when I was a kid. The Planters Peanuts on the boardwalk was one of my favorite places. The last photo was taken at the Goodguys Charlotte speedway show. It's me, and my good friend Moose. he has the { Lo life high } tee shirt, and the Peanut moble. Sorry I have no peanut tins, or do I???
I dunno Ron, maybe not the largest, but it sure has gotten out of control...500+ pieces Marusan Japan Speed King Race car Cragstan Japan Ford Race car AI Japan Firebird Race Car Bandai Japan Ferrari Race Car
Jack, what a great collection. Here's my "Firebird" in the red & white paint scheme. Sorry I don't have a better photo of it. Mick
