NOMA Toys No. 775 T Wooden Farm Tractor & Peter-Mar Cart Pairing *SOLD*

NOMA Toys No. 775 T Wooden Farm Tractor & Peter-Mar Pairing Cart

We have for you this hard-to-find wooden NOMA No. 775 farm tractor that was manufactured by the NOMA Electric Corporation/NOMA Toys of New York City, New York, and a wooden cart that was manufactured by Peter-Mar Quality Toys of Muscatine, Iowa.

The tractor is made of wood, the driver is made of a wood composite, and when moved forward the tractor clicks. There is no hitch between the tractor and the cart, but they do look great displayed together. The black rubber tires on the cart are still intact, but as per usual with toys of this age, they may have petrified, discolored, warped, and/or cracked. We didn’t notice any problems with the tires.

These pieces are in very good all original condition with no restorations, repairs, or touch-ups. These pieces show the usual patina, fading, dust, chips, scuffs, surface rust, scratches, missing accessories, and wear that is to be expected from age and play. These are approximately 8 ½” L (tractor) and 10 ½” L (cart). We encourage you to examine the photographs to further determine condition and quality.
