Great pictures, but "cast iron" instead of "die cast," I think. (pic)

PIC...The two large trucks on the left are Arcade products. These were high quality pieces.....
..back then and the equivalent of our precision diecasts. The fire engine on the right is a Tootsietoy piece. Check out the excellent proportions, great overall attention to detail, complex and accurate (for the day) rendering of the hoist mechanism and the tire sidewall lettering in this close up of the dump truck....

They made for hours of fun in the sandbox. That's one lucky kid!
