Great, old Tootsie toy Gasoline tanker trucks. Had to have them because there were 2 together, and they are in surprisingly good shape! They are both 4" long, and it appears both are completely original.
Thanks for the loves packrat-place and gargoylecollector!

I've learned that it is best to admit when you are wrong, and I was completely wrong about these 2 trucks. They were made by Renwal, not Tootsie. It looks like they are '40s or '50s, but I still can't figure out which. I gather that they were manufactured for more than a few years, so they could be anywhere from 1940 to the mid-1950's. Sorry about being incorrect in the first place...
Well that answers a lot of mystery for me there. I thought that most Tootsie toys were made of metal mainly but I could be wrong.
I'm pretty sure they all were, which is why I got to looking. Especially after you mentioned that those 2 trucks in your post were Renwal, it made me think that these plastic vehicles probably were also. I found several varieties of these on a couple of other websites, and they are definitely Renwal. So I should extend some thanks to Perry for making me think to check further on these!
Glad if I helped at all ay! I'm like you, just plowin my way through the collecting jungle.
Thanks for the love AzTom!!
