Unk Mfr - Oscar Meyer Wienermobile Bank

Back in 2016 I posted a bunch of Oscar Meyer Wienermobile's but then they abruptly stopped. I mean after all, a blog cannot live on wieners alone! And then a couple of years ago I picked this up for a decent price from fleaBay with the intent of putting a motor in it from a 3-rail O-gauge train as I've seen so many others do. There have been several variations for exactly how to install a  motor but - like so many other projects - this one is as yet unrealized. But that's okay because the toy itself is still cool all by itself and is in great shape. There is no manufacturer listed on the box and underneath the chassis it  simply says "Made in China". It measures 10" (25.4cm) L x 3" (7.62cm) W x 4 1/2" (11.43cm) H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Mattel Hot Wheels 1991 (93) 1-50 scale No.3029-0910 G2 Oscar Mayer Wienermobile

This is a toy I've been wanting to get for years.and just never got around to it. I always wanted a fleet of iconic vehicles to roam around the old train layout I just tore down a couple of months ago but it didn't work out that way. Still, I can set it up on the small layout I'm using now. The Wienermobile is just a cool, fun car and Mattel's version is a nice rendition of it. The packaging reflects a copyright date of this toy as 1991 but under the chassis it is clearly marked as being made in Malaysia in 1993. It measures 3" (7.62cm) L x 1 3/8" (3.49cm) H x 1 1/8" (2.85) W. Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina

Oscar Mayer Wiener Whistle v.2

Here's the follow-up post to our Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. we did just a couple of days ago. Winie whistles have been around since probably the mid-to-late 1950s although it's hard for me to verify that cuz all my Internet searches only lead me to the Wienermobile history and not the whistle history. Perhaps there's a book out there with more info but I don't have it in my limited library. I'm calling today's whistle "v.2" because the originals were in the shape of a hot dog, while this second version is in the shape of the Wienermobile. I believe these first came out in the '80s but can't verify. If anyone knows for sure let me know please. I do have an original version but haven't yet photographed it. This one measures 2 1/4" (5.71cm) L x 1 1/4" (3.17cm) W and we did not get it as a souvenir of our visit to the Wienermobile back in 2008. Nope, on that day all we got were souvenir stickers. This sample was bought separately for only a dollar or two but is still a nice little reminder of the day. Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina
