Found this in my backyard the other day 3s down..completely intact. Don't know how old it is. Thinking from what I've read could be from the 60's an or back to the 40's. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong. Stamped (midgetoy) from Rockford Illinois. Its my first cool relic I am pleased with. Got a solid zinc reading on it on my mxtp..pretty surprised..thought I was digging a penny. Overall I'm pretty stoked!! |:cheering:

the Tank is in really good shape for its age , i played with lots of diecast military toys as a kid but this is a bit older than anything i had . I'm guessing late 40's to 50's era .

when the file is a bit big it won't fit across the screen so it has the bar on the bottom that allows you to move the picture from side to side.

i use Paint from my computer to downsize the picture to fit , uncropped pictures i use the stretch and skew option and put them at around 18% .
