More general information.
Introduced between 1949 and 1950 this yellow Adams Road Grader was the second version produced by Doepke and is considerably scarcer than its predecessor, which was “brilliant dark orange”. The axle caps give it away as a 2nd version. The next version used smaller round axle caps. The Adams Road Grader was one of two Doepke construction toys built 1:12 scale; the other being their Bulldozer. In total, four versions were produced from 1948 until 1956. All heavy gauge pressed steel construction and weighing 14 pounds; with baked-on enamel surface and six solid rubber tires. Features included four scraper levels (which are missing in this sale), each with three-way adjustment, working steering wheel, and auto-leveling rear axle.
A nice addition to an old toy collection.
