A Rare Greek Firetruck

comes to ebay

(This seller's  name on ebay  Stellass)

I was on ebay this past Friday and looking for toys. I came across a Greek toy on Liveauctioneers,

but I was looking for something rarer. I decided to visit ebay , and did a search for "Greek Toys".

I then came across many Greek toys, so I then prioritized the list by making the list from high price to low price. Sure enough, a beautiful Greek firetruck from the 1920's-1930's appeared.

Description:

Very rare Greek antique toy.

Circa 1920's-1930's

Scarce with it's box 

FIRE FIGHTER TRUCK - FIRE SERVICE TOY

Made of metal, tin.

ΠΥΡΟΣΒΕΣΤΙΚΗ ΥΠΗΡΕΣΙΑ ΝΟ. 54

COMES WITH IT'S ORIGINAL BOX!!!

Dimensions: length: 36cm   14 3/16"

 

If you're wondering why I added so many photos, it's because you don't often see many

European toys from countries  like Greece,Russia , Romania  or some countries. The photography was also superb, with very good focus, nice colour, and placed on white.

In addition, the selling price was high.

That certainly caught my attention!

Thanks for dropping by,

and have a great part of the day or night,

Wherever you may be.

A New Reader Writes Me Again

 

 I'm always happy to  receive mail  from readers. And so it was with Mr. Ezra Walker.  He had found a very small toy car at a tag sale, and wanted to know if I could help him identify the toy. I couldn't but informed him that I would write a post with his permission. 

   The toy is  1 1/2" (37mm) and Ezra estimated the approximate hers of the toy to be around the 1920's-1930's. I'll have to ask Ezra what the toy is made from, but to me it looks like lead, since there are a lot of dents and bends that appear similar to lead when you bend or dent it.

      So that's it for  today, and I hope someone will help identify this small toy.

Thanks for dropping by,

And as always,

Have a great part of the day or night,

Wherever you may be.
