Wednesday evening hunt at the local park

[freemindstuck]

I think I figured out what I like about this. It reminds me of show and tell in early elementary school. :yes: I went to the local park down the street for a few hours this evening and found the nicest 57 Washington I've found yet, and a 54 Rosie plus another chewed up wheat. But my favorite find of the day was this diecast toy car, modelled after what I believe is a French Bugatti. It has Metal Masters Co and Made in the USA printed on the bottom. It showed up on my metal detector as a quarter at 3 1/2 inches down. It was actually about 13 inches down. Here's what I found on the internet, Metal Masters was based out of Philadelphia, produced a handful of diecast vehicles during the 1930's and early 40's. They stopped making them when WWII started. That's what I know, feel free to chime in and educate me a little more on vintage toys. Thanks for looking!
