It is hard to give any history on the item with no brand or manufacturer marks. Judging by the pictures, the toy truck appears to be made of cast iron. Cast Iron was popular in toys around the turn of the 20th century so I'd estimate that the truck came from the 1920s though it could have been earlier. Most of these early cast iron toys were made by hand after the artisan would carve the mold of wood and then hammered the mold into metal.Â

I would suggest uploading and selling it on an auction site like eBay. On eBay, you will get a wide range of collectors looking at your item. If you sell it to a retail store or to a toy shop, you will get less money.Â
