Hi Numi, I seem to remember it was in a lot of about 15 or so. But I may be mis-remembering as I am getting on in years lol. Was it really that far back? Time does fly...

Hi Tony,the white wrecker is a Tootsie and not sure why i still have it!
The text on the underside reads: Tootsie Toy U.S.A. MADE IN CHICAGO #2 - c421
Has a few tiny nicks/chips but is quite presentable in Excellent+ condition.
You or any member on here can have it "on the house" if wanted.

Thanks for the offer numi, but I only collect Matchbox. I'm sure someone will want it. I have a bunch of these from my childhood (the 1970's).
