Antique tin windup toy dump truck that is marked by its maker, ‘Walt Reach Toy by Courtland – Made in U.S.A.’ This tin wind up truck advertises, ‘Black Diamond Coal Company’ across the top of the box of the dump truck. Note how the back gate swings open and one can drop down the dump shoot. The original paint and condition on this toy are very good. This toy measures 10 1/2″ long is 3 3/4″ high and 3″ wide.
Courtland toys were founded in 1944 by Mr. Walter Reach. He started out making die-cut cardboard toys (with lithographed paper), and then changed to lithographed tin, after WWII. The company was first located in Camden, New Jersey, and then moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. If you collect Courtland toys, then you will want to take a look at our complete toys inventory as I have some other Courtland toys available right now.
