About Buddy L

Buddy L was founded in 1920 by Fred Lundahl in East Moline, Illinois. The company's name was derived from the founder's son, Buddy, and his initial, "L." Initially, the company focused on manufacturing steel fenders and other automotive parts. Buddy L toys were characterized by their rugged construction and attention to detail. The company was known for producing toy trucks with intricate designs, featuring moving parts and mechanisms that added a realistic touch to the play experience. Similar to Structo, Buddy L toys were primarily made of pressed steel, contributing to their durability. Vintage Buddy L toys are highly sought after by collectors. The combination of their historical significance, durable construction, and unique design features contributes to their appeal among collectors of antique and vintage toys.
