Immerse yourself in the nostalgia of yesteryears with this impressive 22-inch Buddy L pressed steel truck, a true relic from 1949. Nicely crafted and built to endure, this vintage gem represents an era when toys were not only playthings but cherished keepsakes. These toys are appreciated for their robust construction. The durability of pressed steel makes them beloved heirlooms, often passing down through generations.

Condition: We would classify the toy in good condition. Good paint color with scuffs and a few areas of rust. Top a little bit bent but with the original color. We've seen quite a few similar toys with the top repainted. Most of decals are gone, although the Railway Express Agency lettering is clearly visible. We've included high resolution photographs for you to gain a good understanding of its condition.
