That's a nice '48 Ford. Too bad about the manure.

Now that's a nice one! I just noticed, a Swastika still intact!

From what little information I have is that it had been stored away after the child's death. Probably during
that time period. Although not in perfect condition, there are marks that showed that it was played with.
I felt it best not to restore it but preserve that which was enjoyed by a child so long ago.

That was a GREAT find! It could only be better if you had the original box.

The zeppelin toy was made by Murray Ohio Mfg. Co. in Cleveland that started in 1919 to make parts for automobiles.
By 1923, Murray also was making steel toys.

This is a page from Baker/Hamilton & Pacific Co. advertising the toys.

The zeppelin was $1.12 each .

If there is an original box, it would probably be $$$ due to it's rarity.

If you had the original box then you could likely name your price :p
