Antique Keystone Toys
Prior to the 1920's American toy trucks were not considered worthy of serious attention. That changed when the Buddy L Toy company produced their first truck in 1921. Pressed steel toys
designed to emulate authentic cars and trucks were quickly becoming part of American mainstream and various manufactures like the Keystone Toy Company out Boston Mass as well as the
Sturditoy company started producing pressed steel toys to compete with the finely constructed examples of Buddy L dump trucks, express trucks steam shovels and other realistic type toys
Buddy L Trains were also being promoted at the same time as the Buddy L truck line became popular. Large old toy trucks varied in prices with ten dollars for only the most elaborate of toys
Keystone toys were less expensive than Sturditoy trucks however both companies decided to lower their prices as the economy weekend towards the later part of the decade New designs and
multiple colors were introduced hoping to stimulate trade, however Buddy L toys and several Keystone toys still suffered slow sales regardless of these innovative concepts. More expensive
Keystone toys and early Sturditoy Trucks regardless of their creative paint schemes could not effectively compete with the ever growing number of big toy companies manufacturing Buddy L
type toys & trains Sturditoy never made trains although trains were part of the Buddy L Factory mainstay/ Interestingly Buddy L trains were extremely expensive to manufacture and almost
bankrupted the Buddy L Toy Company as it neared the end of the 1920's. All antique toy trucks found today with most of their original paint in tact are considered prized possession among
vintage Buddy L collectors and serious Sturditoy toy aficionados The Buddy L Toy Museum consistently offers the most accurate appraisals for rare Buddy L books, antique Buddy L trains
and all Buddy L toys manufactured during the early twentieth century View the first Buddy L express truck made by clicking the photo at the top of this page 1931 Sturditoy dump truck link
