A Special 1915 Tootsietoy 

Model T Ford Comes to Life

I woke up early today, and decided to check my e-mail.  Mr. Robert Newson

had written to me a few days ago. He mentioned a special Tootsietoy that was produced.

I had not checked my g-mail in days, and so it was a surprise to find an

e-mail from Robert. I've written a few posts about Robert and his exceptional

website, but this news was most interesting.

Robert Newson has this exceptional website.

He also has a friend by the name of  Mr. Clint Seeley who writes articles,

and Robert proofreads .

The e-mail was about was a 1915 Tootsietoys's 

Model T Ford (silver plated no less!), and

it was:

"the world's first diecast toy car in the popular three-inch size.

The rare plated version was the first version of that model, 

and has not been properly described in collectors' literature till now"

The link to the article is:

A History of Pre-War (WWI) Automotive Tootsietoys

So as they say in the movie industry - "that's a wrap".

What that means in the movie industry is 

"the filming of a movie scene was finished.".

Thanks for dropping by to read my post.

Have a great part of the day or night,
