Asking for a Price Estimate

And is Anyone Interested?

    Recently, I received a few questions about an old Lincoln steamshovel. Victor Olson wanted to know if anyone would be interested in buying this you, and what was the value of it.

The history of the Lincoln Toy Company is interesting:

"Lincoln Toys of Windsor, Ontario, made and distributed a large line of pressed steel toy trucks, tractors and even a TCA airplane. For many Canadians born after World War II, the wide range of pressed steel toy trucks known as Lincoln Toys were an important part of childhood. Lincoln Toys produced some of the best known and most commonly seen Canadian toys. Most examples show the obvious signs of children’s play, but one can occasionally find a Lincoln Toy still in its original box, in mint condition.

Lincoln Specialties, also based in Windsor, Ontario, was the distributor for the large line of pressed steel toys between 1946 and 1958. Windsor Steel and Ellwood Toys of Tilbury, Ontario are the two companies which originally produced the Lincoln Toys. Windsor Steel and Ellwood Toys went out of business in the late 1950s."*

Also, I have to add a disclaimer, as I have never offered anyone space on my blog to offer a toy for sale:

Disclaimer:

I have no connection with the seller, nor am I making any money or getting anything in return for my offering her to add her toy here for sale.

 So that's it for today as far as a toy post goes. I hope all is well with everyone, and that you've received your 2 vaccinations for COVID-19. I've received my 2 vaccines and I feel safer (but who knows). Canada and the provinces (equivalent to states in the USA) are relaxing the rules, and opening movies to the public gatherings in churches, mosques, and synagogues up to so many people. Restaurants are opening, but I think only for so many people. 

Thanks for dropping by,

and have a great day.
