Dude…you’re killing me with the vintage Tonker and vintage Hoot Wheeler. 👍

LATE ENTRY: Hot dang…just saw the STP stickers. Fun factoid: In the small dairy farming town where I grew up [Stanley, WI], there is/was a prominent Polish ancestry presence…and the STP logo was fondly known as the “Stop Teasing Polacks” logo.
STP stickers were on everything I owned in 1971. I owned like 3 things. I discovered last year when a buddy dug out about 50 terribly rusted Tonkas from his childhood home crawl space. I bought them for 50 and discovered a huge subculture of collectors. They LOVED rusty toys. The one I have was from a trade of 3 rusty trucks. The others funded a watch purchase. Moral: don’t throw anything away without making sure it’s worthless.

STP and Hooker Headers stickers were on my junior high notebooks.
