Can you determine the year this photo was taken? Here are some clues based on information con- tained on this website: Note the Doepke toys on the top shelf - the Wooldridge has large hub-caps. There's a Doepke Mixer and Bucket Loader too. There's also a Druge Straddle Carrier in front of the Wooldridge. Notice the Nylint Lift-Truck on the 4th shelf from the top. These clues mean that this photo could not have been taken any earlier than _______ (?) [answer at bottom of page] Can you find the Little Giant forklift and the PMC Farmall M tractor? |

Fortunately, the back of this photo is dated and its location marked as well. It was taken at Christmas time in 1954 at Myher Hardware (wherever that may have been). The top shelf features an orange Nylint grader and a Tournarocker. There are plenty of Tonka trucks, some Lumar toys, Buddy L and Wyandotte trucks, and even a Wolverine truck. In the small toy category there are several boxes of Goodee toys by Excel. What would today's value be on this great display? If we only knew then... |
