1920’s Neff Moon Open Cab Dump Truck
This is an original and very Rare Example of a
NEFF MOON open cab Dump Truck. The truck is in over-all untouched condition.
The truck has 75% of its original enameled finish in intact you can see the
truck is in played with condition. The pressed steel frame and body are in good
shape with a few dings and dents. All wheels are in fine original shape with
some paint loss. Dump bed works fine. The friction flywheel motor is no longer
intact only the housing and main gear is present. This toy is in need of a good
cleaning and restoration. Over-all this is a great toy for its age and rarity. The
dump truck measures a large 13- ½” inches in length and 4-1/2” wide. The truck
was manufactured by the Neff Moon Company of Sandusky Ohio in the 1920s. This
truck was sold as part of the famous and popular Neff Moon "Convertible
Auto" sets. The Neff Moon Co. was short lived, from 1923 until the
depression in 1929.This explains the rarity of these hearty classic cars and
trucks. But while they were in production Neff Moon toys were considered to be
some of the best on the market. They sold individual cars and trucks, but their
"claim to fame" was a unique boxed" Convertible Auto" set
that included a basic chassis with several different body styles that could be
switched around to create different cars and trucks. They were considered as
the first "Transformers" toys. A great rare piece of American toy
history...Please examine the photos carefully as they are critical to the
description of the toy.
