Title: Bell telephone truck
Post by: Stoobydo on March 21, 2006, 12:21:37 PM

I don't know where to begin to look for info on this truck.  All I know is that my parent's bought it over 30 years ago from Sears.  Sears had to redo the trucks in their inventory because of copyright infringment.  They were converted to fire trucks.  It's an electric truck and still runs.  Where would one go to find more info and value?  Where do antique sales people go for info?

Thanks for your time.

Interesting toy - so where would a web researcher go?  I would google for:

vintage toy trucks        vintage toys sears         vintage toy truck Bell
telepone        

which would probably lead to other web sites -

Where did you find out about the copyright?  it could lead to a specific year.  And does it run on batteries?                KB

oops:  one other item - what is the "brand name"  - - Buddy L  --- Tonka -- etc?  I started some basic research - Post back if I can be of further assistance.  KB
