I picked up this Tonka Cement Truck #620. It's 15" long, the style fender logos and "T" on the bumper make it a '61 model. I didn't have one of these as a kid, but I knew people who had them. It always impressed me. It's in great shape over all with the stickers intact. I've been looking for one in this condition at an acceptable cost. I was willing to pay more than what they want for lesser grades because the nice original paint gives it a great appearance. IMO with the great colors, heft, operating features and overall look this is the best looking and most iconic boomer era cement truck..
Oh yes this is a nice piece. Tonka in its prime before they started with the weird windshields.
Thank you so much Nutasbotas, I waited until I could find one in good shape that was reasonable.
Thank you very much Ftapache. This was the classic era before most the toy companies made the weird change in cab design around the mid '60s. I think what you are refering to is what I've heard called turbo or turbine cab. Doesn't appeal to me either.
