This one seems to date to just about 1934, and I'm really not sure how many trailers it originally had.

I have seen some old Tootsie Toys, but never that one. Thanks for sharing.

Needing some information, I was using the "Google" today and ran into a source I haven't used for a while. For early Tootsietoys, those interested might enjoy
http://www.tootsietoys.info/Tootsietoys-1.html with Clint Seeley's information and insights. Have fun!
Almost a hundred years old and not a restoration. I like these old Tootsietoys.

Here's one from 1931, the No. 4645 Mack Mail Truck, 1/72 scale. It still catches the eye! The lettering is raised and really stands out.
I can't resist adding this shot that I found on the web:

I like the mail plane. Flying those open cockpit planes in bad weather was not very pleasant.

In my aviation classes in high school our instructor, Mr. Tom Rose, claimed that you could always tell a 'pusher pilot' by the bugs in their teeth.
Mr. Rose is/was a GREAT TEACHER.
I've never had a teacher influence me as much as he had. RIP Sir.

Till the day I pass I'll never forget the hours in class that we spent building a replica of a 1912 Curtis Pusher.
Mr. Rose, along with his Waco bi-plane would fly out of Meadowlark airport in Huntington Beach to tow advertising banners up and down the beach.
He was a true man's man.. I love 'n miss him even 50yrs later.
I've more stories to tell
