Hi Cam.
Thanks for the Interesting Information.
But these models are rare?
And there are more collectors for this model in the forum?
Greetings Mike & Nico of Austria.

I seriously doubt it is rare as TootsieToy was a prolific producer of toys, all quite cheap so millions were sold. I haven't been able to locate any kind of database on what was produced, or how many of each. I do know that almost every flea market and garage sale I go to has piles of them for sale. Now this applies to North America, I have no idea how available they were across the pond.

Thank you, Cam
for more information.

They were never widely available over here, so you do not see them very often. However, as they are all rather crude, there is little collector interest in them.

By the way, since these are neither UK made nor made in Europe or the Far East, there is not really a section here on this board where they can be discussed. Just a humble observation...
