Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:8268464 | Brand: Tim Mee Toys |
| Material: PLASTIC AND METAL |
HELLO AND A GREAT DAY TO YOU ALL. TODAY I'M LISTING UP THIS RARE VINTAGE TIM MEE TOYS FOUR WHEEL ARMY SCOUT CAR / TANK VEHICLE. THE ORIGINAL PROCESSED PLASTICS COMPANY TANK CAME WITH A MACHINE GUN IN THE FRONT. LATER THEY MADE A VERSION OF IT FOR THE TIM MEE TOYS COMPANY. The "tank" as sold by Processed Plastic was made of polystyrene hard plastic and included a bow machine gun that needed to be glued onto the front of the piece. The one found in the Tim-mee sets no longer had the... Processed Plastic imprint underneath the body, and was made of polyethylene soft plastic which in turn made the machine gun impossible to include as there was no glue in the 1950s that worked well with polyethylene products. Based upon a 1954 Processed Plastic trade ad that touts the use of the new unbreakable polyethylene plastic we can assume the Tim-Mee version did not appear until 1954 or later.THIS ONE HAD BEEN STORED AWAY FOR YEARS AND RECENTLY DISCOVERED AT AN ESTATE SALE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT COMES IN AN OLIVE DRAB COLOR AND MEASURES ROUGHLY SIX INCHES LONG , THREE INCHES WIDE, AND THREE INCHES TALL. IT WOULD MAKE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO YOUR MILITARY VECHILE COLLECTION.
