Jones & Bixler Cast Iron Truck- Impressive Giant *SOLD*

Jones & Bixler Cast Iron Truck- Impressive Giant

Jones and Bixler toys trace back to the very early days of cast iron automotive toys.  Kenton later marketed some Jones & Bixler toys in their very early catalogs.

As such, this particular truck is steeped in early toy and early automotive history.  It has lamps, not headlights.  That should give an indication of its early 1900’s origin.

Our example is in a pale yellow with red highlighting.  The toy comes with its original driver, steering wheel, and tailgate.  The aft right stake area has a small repair from a crack; it is not apparent.
