Bill Nevins has sent us some photos of his latest finds.
First 2 pix are Jack Daniels swizzle sticks. That’s the Marx JD Figure, with the dates on the back, stuck on a stick. Must be a story behind these.
Pic 3 are MPC knights bagged sets w/ header cards. 38 figures per bag!!
I bought a lot containing cars and vehicles. I know nothing about these at all. I just bought them because the price was right. Any info?
Pic 4 are two Pyro army vehicles. Hard plastic. I have no info on these.
Pic 5 This car is marked Erwin on the under side.
Pic 6 An Ideal Truck with wrench.
Pic 7 is a unknown car. It’s hard rubber and is marked TOY____ Gilbert OHIO
underneath. This is an oldie.
Pic 8 & 9 Marx Guns of Navarrone booklet. Odd to find this loose?
pic 5 ,those are not mine. LOL!!/
Bill do they said Erwin OR Irwin!? I just to have few very similar size 40′-50’s cars with that brand (IRWIN Co)bellow.
Pic 7 look very similar to the two futurist very ALIKE version made by SUN RUBBER CO in late 30’s.I had seen then copied by other factories around same era.
The pyro army trucks were for Lionel O Trains call Pyro Modern Replacement army set.
Erwin, they are IRWIN. Just having some fun.!!
Pic 7 is really old hard rubber and is marked TOY…….. (something I cannot make out)
and underneath is GILBERT, OHIO.
The Ideal truck also has a spare wheel along with the lug wrench.
Nice job again Bill !
Ok; the truck on pic7 once again look like the 6″ model or 4″ smaller version of Sun Rubber Co -OH I have few of both type.But because the wordings Gilbert-OHIO.I will said it is a copy and by the way very rare to get. If was indeed done by Gilbert toy co which is not clear would be a rare find as not common at all. If was done by TOY INDY again the (Gilbert part) do not match as TOY INDY is not from OH. So may be is a mix and rubber added by some one or a very rare true toy. Definitely a mystery so far to me
You can see some samples here.

Erwin, I’ll pull out the high powered magnifying glass and see if someone here can make out the second word. Perhaps someone who doesn’t have 64 year old eyes!!!
I did notice how high up the wheels on this piece are. Most of the similar toys in your examples are very low to the ground.
I’ll get back to you on it.
Anything on the Ideal truck with the spare tire and lug wrench?
That Ideal truck is hard to see .good hunt and pick on it.
Will get back on it later.walking and training dog now.
Back. Sorry.
The Ideal is No I-2320-2321/22 about 8″ long aprox ,it was done in many colors as mechanic or repair truck, the tools are hammer, wrench , extra center-locking hubs, spare tire and a working jack. If you got it with all those tools you are lucky as most time are out and lost. They truck is common with out tool price range from $15.00 to $30.00 depending in condition. With all tools or part is another higher price .
Yours seems to have also missing top bed small rectangular long cover that open and close. May be you got them!?.I can not see it from pic
OK, 26 year old eyes have spoken. The printing says:
THE SUN RUBBER CO
BARBERTON.D.
What’s the .(period) and the “D” for?
Old eyes turned ON.D into OHIO.
Whoops!!
I knew was Sun Rubber. I got my scratching my bold head thinking in what (TOY…) company!? was
There were two model one big first call some time call Big boy or master and later smaller verssion .A later mold was done with a 3er variation and run from 1946 to 1948 only.-because this mold was not used any more ,it is more value but I do not know x sure if it is . It look like that. But once again- Because the odd tires brand ,it may had been a united contract between both company!?
If like send photo of bottom only and tire wordings,use your camera with out flash under direct light and set it(toy) on light color background ,do not reduce size of picture. I may be able to match with mine, I got the three models in my insane collection. Need to match and look what they said.

SUN it is! I have a few of the ones in my link, but NOT one of yours, Bill.
GOOD finds all around!
Neat stuff. I am not an expert in car/truck toys but I do know that Ideal made many of their 50s and 60s toys along the “take apart” concept. Trains, ships stagecoaches and vehicles were sold with that theme in mind. tools were included and the assemble-disassemble feature was big. Mr. Machine was along that line too. I have a book with Sears adverts that has Ideal toys advertised exactly as what you have there. I am sure many of the parts have been lost through the years.
