🚒 Vintage Fire Truck Toy Lot - Tonka Utility Truck & Ladder Engine
This vintage toy lot includes two classic fire service vehicles: a Tonka fire utility truck and a Metro Fire Department ladder truck toy. Both feature the bold red emergency vehicle styling that made fire engine toys one of the most popular toy categories throughout the mid-20th century.
The Tonka truck represents the rugged pressed-steel construction that made the brand famous, while the ladder engine features molded equipment and ladder detail typical of later plastic emergency vehicles.
These make a fun collectible pair for display in a vintage toy collection, emergency vehicle collection, or retro toy display.
