Old Antique Toys

This blog discusses old toys from the early 1920's to the end of the 1950's. All kinds of topics are discussed. The time span was the greatest period for "hands-on" toys, where a young child could actually go outside and play for hours at a time. You can see the elegance but simple design of these toys. It was a time when huge machines, and people made and finished toys by hand. The era has long passed, but many of the toys are still around, and that is what I would like to share.

Hubley Stake Truck Restoration

(Continued)

The restoration is looking to come to an end. Today, I sanded the repair,

and then added a primer coat.

I didin;t want to make the repair too smooth as the surrounding area is very rough or coarse.

The Repair in Silhouette.

I used a back light position to silhouette or outline the shape of the repair.

This was just to check if the shape of the repair was OK.

It looks good.

What I need to do is to add another coat of primer, and then add 2 layers of finishing paint colour.

So thanks for dropping by,

and have a restful and nice Saturday,

wherever you may be.
