VINTAGE LONDONTOY TRANSPORT TRAILER

I posted a picture of a trailer like this one earlier that had been stripped & primed. This is the first time that I have seen one with the paint on. It sold for $33.00 US plus shipping. I bid on it, but it got away from me.

Seller's description:

LONDONTOY TRAILER (ONLY). IT IS 8-1/2" X 2-1/2" X 2-1/2" AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH MAJOR DAMAGE.

Londontoy Hawker Hurricane #11 - paper wheels

This Hawker Hurricane has been for sale on eBay for quite some time. It started at $65.00 CAD, then dropped to $55.00 CAD before just being relisted for $45.00 CAD. I still think that is way too much. What is interesting about this Hawker Hurricane is that the wheels are made of compressed paper. Seller's description below:

Londontoy Cannon #75

I recently saw a Londontoy cannon for sale on eBay. I have never seen one for sale before. While it was a pretty cool and rare piece, I decided against bidding on it. I definitely like the Londontoy vehicles better. This cannon sold for $29.00 CDN ($22.43 USD). Seller's description was as follows:

Vintage LONDONTOY High Angle Cannon Gun Number 75 Canada Army Toy World War 2

Selling an older lead toy. Has original wooden wheels, marked "MADE IN CANADA" on left side and "LONDONTOY NO.75" on right side

Londontoy Hawker Hurricane Airplane

I saw this nice Hawker Hurricane for sale on eBay for $15.95 US starting bid plus shipping. A moment later the posting was gone. I think the seller must have changed their mind or sold it privately and cancelled the auction. This sure was a nice looking Hurricane!

The seller's description is as follows:

This auction is for a very nice example of a "Made in Canada" Londontoy Hawker Hurricane Airplane No.11, produced in 1948-52. Plane appears to be in all original condition with nothing broken or missing. One piece diecast body, 3 bladed prop with metal wheels. Paint (blue) is in age appropriate condition, decals 95% intact. Size is 4" x 4 1/2".

Londontoy #11 Hawker Hurricane

I have never seen one of these for sale before so I jumped at the chance. It was listed for $9.00 USD but I ended up paying $16.00 USD plus a pretty high amount of shipping even though it was located in Canada. I'm stoked to have this a part of my collection. Seller's description is as follows:

Londontoy Convertible

I posted about a car like this previous that was missing the roof and windshield. This one just appears to be missing the roof. It is pretty tempting although quite expensive @ $19.95 USD plus shipping costs. Seller's description as follows:

Londontoy Semi Truck and Flat Bed Trailer

I just found this for sale on eBay. I have never seen a flat bed trailer before so this is pretty cool. I am convinced that the trailer is made by Londontoy because the wheels look exactly the same as on the semi truck. I am not totally convinced that the trailer is complete though. I get the feeling that some parts might be missing. It is currently for sale for $10.00 plus shipping, but I think I will let this one go. Seller's description as follows:

VINTAGE CAST LONDONTOY MADE IN CANADA SEMI TRUCK AND FLAT BEAD TRAILER

This is for a VINTAGE CAST LONDONTOY MADE IN CANADA SEMI TRUCK AND FLAT BEAD TRAILER AND IT IS 16 " LONG AND 2 3/4" TALL AND 3 1/2" WIDE AND IT IS IN FAIR PLAYED WITH CONDITION
