ken1234 welcome your piece was produced by Hubley  founded at least as early as 1892 by John Hubley they made iron toys from the start at his plant in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. after 1940 they began to introduce die-cast zinc alloy toys due to the increased cost of freight & foreign competition. Your piece was produced c1930s. your piece looks to be in very good condition (minor overall wear,very clean) for this condition in a good market $575.00 in this market $382.00 hang on to this piece as when the market returns it is highly collectable. similar pieces have been sold through Sotheby's New York in the past.
