junkyardjeff Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I picked it up today at a thrift type store and since it was the oldest toy I grabbed it,its about the same size or slightly larger as the kingsize Matchbox and Corgis. Its made by a company I never heard of,the Winross company of Rochester NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkyardjeff Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 I only paid 10 dollars for the one I have so it looks like I done well,it is missing one of the doors on the trailer but otherwise in really nice shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzTom Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I have a few posted on here. They are 1/64 scale and nice trucks. The market is not as hot as it once waw but I like them. $10.00 No shipping is good even with a missing door. Check the completed auctions for a better feel of what they sell for.

junkyardjeff Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 I can not pass up old toy trucks if they are priced right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 There are almost 7000 Winross trucks on ebay and the prices are all over the place so I did not do as good as I thought but I like it and might get more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
