Londontoy Moving Truck

Just found this truck on eBay. I have never seen anything like this before. Apparently this truck, and about 300 other vintage die cast vehicles are from an estate sale. This truck is expected to go for anywhere between $60 and $80 US plus a 20% premium added to the winning bid. The estate sale auction company's description is as follows:

VINTAGE DIE-CAST AND TIN WIND-UP LONDON TOY MOVING/STORAGE TRUCK Lot 214

WHITE CAB/RED BODY, WITH BLACK RUBBER TIRES, 8" LONG, SAYS MOVING STORAGE LONDON TOY ON SIDE ON TRUCK

VERY GOOD CONDITION, RUSTING ON BOTTOM AND SOME MINOR WEAR FOR AGE, LOOK AT PHOTOS, WIND-UP WORKS

Unknown Londontoy car

I found some pictures via Google image search of a "Londontoy Futuristic Car". Sadly there was no reference to what model # it was. Following are the 2 pictures I found of it.

Very recently I also found a car for sale on eBay. The seller's description as follows:

VINTAGE "HUBLEY" KIDDIE TOY CONVERTIBLE CAR 6 1/4" LONG MADE USA

VINTAGE "HUBLEY" KIDDIE TOY CONVERTIBLE CAR 6 1/4" LONG MADE USA. Car has been painted and some paint is peeling off. Wheels are intact.

Unknown Londontoy car

This was obviously the "Londontoy Futuristic Car" with the roof missing. It is certainly not a Hubley as the seller indicated. It was listed for sale @ $9.99 US and sold for $9.99 US. I couldn't justify bidding on it as it was missing the roof.

Londontoy Service Station

Found this on eBay as well. Seller's description was as follows:

Londontoy No. 54M Master Deluxe Passenger Coupe

Here are 2 examples of the Londontoy No. 54M Master Deluxe Passenger Coupe that I found via a Google image search. These images are from an eBay posting that was completed long ago. Here is the seller's description:

Two vintage metal (diecast?) toy cars with clockwork/wind up action.

They are both marked Londontoy No 54 M Made In Canada. I believe they date to the 1940s (otherwise 1950s).

They are bigger than a Dinky car. Each one is 5.75" long.

One is painted as a Police Car, and the other as a Fire Chief's Car.
