Hudson Toy

Trevor J

This Hudson Toy is advertised for sale on a web site in NewZealand Quite a cool toy but it is described as a Hudson and they were made around 1949.  Just out of interest did Hudson ever  make something like this perhaps a factory truck

Looks cool, it could have been an airport or factory vehicle. Prefect for motorcycle transport!

Hello,

It was made by Tootsietoy, and is what they called a 1947 Hudson Pickup.  They show up quite often on E-Bay. 

Take care,

I have the book, "Collectors Guide to Tootsietoys" 2nd edition.  It lists this particular toy truck as a "Hudson Pickup" being made from 1947 - 1949, 4" long and is considered rare (book is copyrighted 1996 so perhaps it was rare before the internet really took hold with on-line sales and auctions).

I suspect Trevor is approaching second childhood!

I never had any toys as a kid so I am making up for it.  I'm getting short of room for the full size ones but there is always room for one more.

I still have my Dinky Toys Stepdown in cream with maroon roof. It's in a suitcase full of Dinky Toys in my attic. I've never been able to bear parting with them.

Too bad, they should be on display!
