I just did a deal today for this huge lot of tin friction toys. There are a few complete cars but the majority is parts, bodies, chassis, tires, hubcaps, bumbers, and anything else you might strip off and save.
This is what is left of one mans' passion for tin friction. From what the fellow I got them from told me it represents less than 1/10th of what he bought from the first guy to buy out the collection from the widow of the original owner.
There are thousands of parts here, some categorized, most not. Parts for toys like Buddy L, Tonka, Japan tin friction, battery operated toys(small percentage).
If you are in to toys like this you know what a treasure trove this is. I looked in one small storage rack and had no doubt there was $600-1000 in parts if you had to order them or find them on eBay. Another storage rack has hubcaps galore. Probably 500 or more of them. Some of the large bins are stuffed with toy chassis, others with partial bodies, and more.
The pictures below are just a couple of the boxes.
If interested PM me.
I am open to serious cash offers or trades for good 5ft/6ft signs.
