Tootsie Toy
27Oct2007 Filed under: Days Go By Author: ValWhen we first started working on that sitting room and tearing out that wall to add that room to the living room, Steve found some interesting things in the wall. An old spool of thread, a plastic cowboy that looks like it’s from the 60′s, a marble, some other things and this little Tootsie Toy car:
The other day, Elijah found this for us again and we got Googling to find out more about Tootsie Toys. This is a Classic MG, all metal except the wheels. I wonder what it would take to restore it?
We found some others in perfect condition, like this one. Who knows, I don’t know much of anything about antique toys and collectibles.
But we thought that was kinda cool. Unfortunately, I am unable to find much of anything about this particular model and have no idea exactly how old it is. So if ya know… let me know :)

That’s pretty neat, Val. :) It’s always interesting to make discoveries such as that. — I have no idea how old it is, but I hope you find out. :)

The toy is from the 60/70s and were sold as Jam Pac cars. They came in a wide variety of packaging. There were probably about 30 different models. Really do not have any value to a collector. A search on ebay of jam pac will show you the many different models

Mark,
Thanks for the info. Figures something I would find in my own backyard is worthless. And mine doesn’t even have wheels. Oh well, guess I’ll keep digging and see what I can find.
Regards to all,
Ron
