Hi, my great grandfather gave me a little tootsie toy model T ford die cast truck that he got as a gift from the police force for his 50th anniversary 50 years ago. on the bottom it says “Model T Ford 1912 Tootsie toy Chicago 24 USA.” I was reading about it on the internet and I saw that it was a “prized collectors item.” It is in great runnning condition, but the paint is chipping in places. It has yellow plastic wheels and the rest is diecast. the seats are painted yellow, the steering wheel and the front radiator are painted gold, and the rest is painted black. I was wondering if it was worth anything. Any information about it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Just curious. I am a big Dukes of Hazzard and Monster Truck fan. Awhile back, completed the Dvd series and now working on those diecast Dukes cars and Monster Trucks. What’s yours?

What is the difference between 1/24 or 1/18?
Is price the difference or is it the size of the car? This is all new to me but I would like to buy some as a Christmas gift and I dont know which is better, or if it even matters? Thanks
