    Walter Rudolph Reach was the Founder of Courtland Toy Company in Camden, New Jersey. He opened business in 1932. I know the Fire Chief car is rough and missing the back tires but I only paid $3 for it. The tires on the front have Courtland embossed on them. It still looks good in the display case and to have a toy of that era is nice.

      Love the car, but really love the national in the back ground, I've got a big old heavy one from a gas station, with the keys for lube, gas ,ect, the paper label under the drawer says the station's name and address and date of manufacter from national, is it a goodie?
    8. officialfuel officialfuel, 14 years ago
      kerry10456, I've got another one out in the garage that is nicer than this one.
    9. kerry10456 kerry10456, 14 years ago
      Had an uncle who worked for National back in the 40s-70's, I,ve always had a liking to them, don't know a thing about them, just that they're neat
    10. officialfuel officialfuel, 14 years ago
      I love them too! They just look nice sitting there.

      This is an INCREDIBLE piece. I'm not even a car guy (my dad is - ha) but I LOVE these tin toys. Wow.

      These old tin friction cars are just awesome. I have a number of these from Marx, Courtland, TN (Nomura, Japan) and others. Smalls like this are awesome because there are so many variations. Even without the back wheels it's a great item.

      I have a Chief Fire Dept no. 1 car that has four people in the car instead of two and it is all red. I am looking to see how much it is worth and what year it might have been made?
    37. officialfuel officialfuel, 13 years ago
      Cindy, thank you for stopping by. You would need to post a picture of your car so we can see what your talking about. :-)
