Ringo Toys (Ideal) Set No. D-032 Chuck Wagon - MOC

Here's a special treat for those of you who like mint toys in their packaging. This Ideal Chuck Wagon was sold under the 'Ringo Toys' masthead on a blister pack and is a wonderful example of Ideal's work. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

I love the blue and white color scheme

Ideal 40mm Chuck Wagon - Blue-Yellow SP

In yesterday's blog - which  I posted in the morning - I mentioned getting in another Ideal wagon but had to wait until it came in to photograph it and post. Well, the wagon came in during the afternoon and this morning the photos were taken and edited - yay! There's another cool Ideal Western set coming in, but I know that one will take a while to get her. Until then - Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Ideal 40mm Chuck Wagon - Yellow-Blue SP

I haven't featured much by way of Ideal's Western toys over the years, even though this next batch of toys has been out in The Cave for years - it's only recently that I got off my keester and photographed these. At the moment I have five useable wagons and only two hitches with horses, which means I had to cheat taking the photos as the same hitch will be used on more than one wagon.. These wagons are small - classified as 40mm - and as such would look awkward next to all those MPC ringhands I've been posting. However, MPC, Airfix, HG Toys, and China-made Cowboys and Indians are all available in 45mm so the wagons will fit right in with them. This Chuck Wagon measures 7 3/4 " (19.68cm) long overall x 2 1/2" (6.35cm) W x 2 3/4" (6.98cm) H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
