Tonka - - 1970's Fire Truck With Ladder - #55170 and 12733-B


Okay, to start off, you know I don't know a lot about toys!!!  I search and try to give you the best information I can, after all, you are buying these items from just the pictures and description.

I am CONFUSED!!!!  The numbers on the bottom of the truck 12733-B says this is part of a Cherry Picker, but it doesn't look like any of the pictures I have seen and there is nothing else that goes with this ladder part, other than this engine.  The ladder part of the unit has the #55170 clearing imprinted in the metal.  Sorry the pictures of the bottom of the truck didn't come out better, but I think you can still read the number.

What I do know is that this unit is 11 inches long and comes in two pieces, and each piece is metal.  That is something else that is confusing about all the pictures I have looked at.  Most show the ladder in white paint, black paint, etc, this is just plain old metal, no paint, nothing other than the decals along the sides, that match what is on the truck and the sides of the ladder truck.

Overall, I would say for the age, this whole thing is in pretty good shape.  There is a little rust on the axles, for the most part the ladder is rust free, but could be cleaned up a little better.  But since I have no idea on the proper way to clean, its up to you.

All the wheels are in pretty good shape and feel like they are rubber and all are marked TONKA.
