Looks like they got the ‘cruiser lean’ on the pin correct lol

Any history on that pin? Country from ?

 

[Economist LC76]

@JohnnyC it’s from Japan. Supposed to be OEM

 

[JohnnyC]

I hate when they do not put part numbers on things lol

 

[dmamj]

@JohnnyC gonna lean on you here. Pretty sure these aren't Land Cruiser. Stout? Dump truck? The 5-digit part # box is for the fuel gauge, but the oil gauge got tucked inside.

Rk ... the Toyopet trucks

Early to mid 50’s

I’ll find a pic

 

[JohnnyC]

Looked real quick ... Years released
1954 the first RK
1955 RK21
1956 RK23 body change on the front end ... this would become the stout

This is the RK1.5

Dash from a RK23 you can faintly see the gauges here:

Great info - thank you for digging in. Now I'm gonna have to find a truck to build around the gauges.

Certainly not vintage and definitely not a tool, but pretty cool none the less. The little 40 was airbrushed by an unknown person. You kind of just wanna stare at the thing. I bow to the hand that created it.

Here are a couple of pretty neat pieces.

First is a 7 1/2" x 10" used car poster. Wish I knew the date. Translation of the text at the bottom is essentially "Look for this symbol for quality used cars."

Second is a 205 page1945 truck service manual. Yellowed with age, but still has the Toyota allure. Written all in Japanese.

I’ve seen this kind of thing before, a guy in japan did something like this. He made a mini terrarium with it in it.

Vintage or not, it is still cool....

Where did you find this small 40? And how big is it? Neat. Tom

 

[dmamj]

@cruiserboy14 you're right - it's from overseas. It comes in about a 4" x 4" (how appropriate) acrylic cube like you mentioned.

@tls3601 Tom, the 40 itself is about 2" long. Scale is 1/64 I believe, about a Hot Wheel size. Must be a Japanese maker, but not sure what brand. The guy (gal?) does amazing work - artistry far beyond what these hands are capable of. It is custom distressed and air brushed.

I'll try to get the person's website if they have one and post it so folks here can give them some business.

It’s like a wonderful little art piece. I’d call it
