Wyandotte Moving Truck toy with Box for Sale *SOLD*

Wyandotte Moving Truck toy with Box for Sale

Our red, white, and blue patriotic Wyandotte van is an absolute gem.  It comes with its original box, and is in top notch condition.

The van’s cab pivots yet is permanently attached to the advertising moving van.  You just can’t get much better color than this or a better streamline design.  It is a superior example of any of the Wyandotte toy line we have seen.  Then we just don’t see boxes with this toy maker, so the colorful graphics are a treat.

size is around 15.5×5.5×3.5″ for the toy.  The box is approximately the same and a tight fit.

One box inside flap is missing.  Then one box lid was repaired due to a split seam/aging.  The toy is minor trailer scuffs, but original and near mint for this age and make (they were toys!).

This number 351 van mover is quite rare and not found in O’Brien’s guide and we only found one previous sale.  The styling is purely pre-war which threw us at first.  The designs were shelved until after the war.  Thankfully we have deep archives and found a Wyandotte Toys are Good and Safe book by Kurt Guild, Mike Willard, and Gary Konow.  Thanks for the work guys!

We found a one-year only toy– This Wyandotte National Van Lines Local toy was produced in 1949 only.  It is described as a “15 inching toy with cab and jutting hood.  Trailer has angular open rear end. Wyandotte National Van Lines Local on trailer with candy-striped lettering.” It is rare enough that even their book only found a pixelated black and white picture from a catalog.
