FOUND IT!

I got this model/toy(?) truck at in a bag of cars at a thrift store about a year ago. Now that I think about it, it doesn't have any sort of brand or identification. It seems old, by the looks of it. Based on the stickers on both sides, I'm wondering if this might have came from the Chevron Richmond Refinery in California, which was opened in 1902.

Can take better photos with my digital camera, if needed!


Stickers read:

"Chevron
Richmond CA
USDOT 157539"

Bottom Reads:

"Registration Number
7114"

Information:

- Front tires appear to be blue on the inside, others are not
- There is dirt on the inside, but from what I can tell it has a black steering wheel on the inside
- Wheels might be made of rubber
- Well made/detailed
- 99% sure it had mirrors

Broken:

- Left tire missing wheel
- Right blinker completely gone
- Underside near bottom screw is broken - wheels would have attached here
- Missing mirrors - can explain what they looked like, if needed

Chipping paint/rusting that you might need to know about:

- Underside - screws rusting
- "Metal" paint on underside is chipping
- Yellow "light" on the left side is missing paint in the middle




Now that I've looked into this more, I would love to find the origin of this truck!
