Vintage Tonka 1970s "52900" Front Loader Yellow Pressed Steel (Ships Priority!)

Description

Very nice mid-1970's vintage Tonka pressed steel front end loader. It's about 45 years old, in obvious "played with condition", but and has excellent character. The loader is mostly intact and all the functions work. Only appears to be missing part of the exhaust stack. Has two hold positions and working "trip style" bucket. This is a yellow handle version which are somewhat obscure. Stamped on the bottom "52900".

No Returns:
Due the used nature of the merchandise that I sell, all sales are final. Returns and exchanges will only be authorized for items that were grossly misrepresented (
proven by eBay
) or if the wrong item was sent to you by accident. Otherwise my no return policy stands. Please make sure the item is what you want before committing to buy.
Order Cancellation:
Any order you wish to cancel must be done before the order is processed with USPS.
I will not grant any cancellation request once I have processed the order with the shipping carrier, and/or once the package is in the possession of USPS.

I have a two business day handling time, however most orders ship within 24 hours of cleared payment (Monday-through-Friday).

Some Saturday shipping exceptions will be only for items that fit in my own mail box.

Best Offer:
If best offer is available, please understand that I have eBay's auto-decline feature enabled on all such listings. This is only to filter out persons submitting ridiculous (low-ball) offers of the item. I have prices set at what I believe to be fair (
usually based on an average of similar listings
), so if your offer was auto-declined, just re-submit a higher offer, or send me a message. Communication goes a long way in negotiating, and “low baller eBayers” will only be added to my blocked list.

Has it implies, this means the listed item is available for person-to-person pickup only in Pahrump, Nevada, or the surrounding areas of Las Vegas, Beatty, Amargosa, or Tecopa, etc. These items are usually too heavy/or bulky to ship reasonably, or might be an item on consignment.
