Tonka ca. 1960’s Pressed Steel No. 926 Pumper Dual Rear Wheel Fire Engine Hose Truck with Box

This is a vintage ca. 1962 pressed steel No. 926 Pumper dual rear wheel fire engine hose truck with box manufactured by Tonka Toys of Mound, Minnesota. 

The tires are rubber and say “Tonka Toys U.S.A.” The stickers on the sides of the cab are original and intact. The windshield is intact with no cracks. The hoses are all present as is the fire hydrant. The box is in fair condition and has been stabilized and wrapped in cellophane to preserve it.  

Our example of this Tonka Toys No. 926 Pumper is in excellent condition with no restorations, breaks, repairs, or touch ups. This piece shows the usual patina, fading, dust, chips, scuffs, surface rust, scratches, and wear that are to be expected from age and display. This is approximately 17 ¼” L x 6” W. This would be a great addition to any pressed steel collection. We invite you to view the photos to further determine quality and condition. 

  

 

A brief history of Tonka Toys of Mound, Minnesota: 

Tonka was begun by Lynn Everett Baker, Avery F. Crounse and Alvin F. Tesch in 1946, but it didn’t start out as Tonka; instead Mound Metalcraft in 1946.   Tesch re-engineered some old toy concepts left by their building’s previous tenants, and dubbed the toys “Tanka,” which means “big” in Dakota Sioux tongue.
