I would have loved to play with that dumptruck as a kid.

Nice finds Craig. That old tin stuff usually goes for some good money. That key wind car may actually have a prototype. I believe this is called a Scarab.

I love those kind/style of cars amd trucks. Great find.

FWIW there is a CD called "Toy Truck and Crane Related Patent Collection" available from www.gadgetsplace.com , it's got a lot of cool drawings on it of stuff like that. (there are some 350 PDf files of patent drawings/filings..each one contains anywhere from 2-5 sheets. there are also links to the web to files/lists of Trucks by company name, and mfr date.)

Below are a couple of cropped and reduced/resized extracted images from the PDF files
