Hello All - Very Old Trucks (1 Viewer)

[Joe Quake]

Ive just joined this group so hello to everyone.

I recently uncovered some very old WBritain Toy army trucks. I think they date back to ww1 but i am unsure. I am curious to know if anyone in this group could shed any light on them as i am very intrigued to find out more. they are:

Army Ambulance

Beetle Lorry

Gas Cylinder Lorry

If anyone knows anything regarding these trucks let me know.

Thanks

Joe

I believe the 1st two are about 1940's) the 3rd is from the Lilliput range intended for OO scale railways. They were produced in the 50's I believe. The estimate I would give on the first 2 are $500-$800 each and for the 3rd about $150.

The ambulance is one of the early square radiator models, probably set 1512 which was produced beginning in 1937. If it has the driver and patient on a stretcher it is very, very desirable. without the driver etc it is still a desirable truck. Nice find. welcome to the forum.

Opie in Great Book of Britains says the Army Motor Ambulance, with driver, casualty and stretcher, issued in this style between 1937 - 1941, reissued in 1946 with new body style. The Bettle Lorry with Driver, set 1877 issued in 1940.
