The Toy House No. 406 Buckboard in Original Header Bag

Here's a nifty buckboard still in its original header bag. The bag includes the wagon, four wheels, hitch, horse, and driver. It's sold by "The Toy House" but after looking at the "Toy Soldier HQ" website (link in the sidebar) it's included under the Payton listings. Was it made by Payton and distributed by The Toy House? In any case, I've seen these being sold as MPC which they are not! MPC wagons are shorter, lack the wooden board detailing (more noticeable when looking at the two wagons up close and personal), the wheel axles are placed differently on the wagons, and the hitches are different. Also, MPC never offered wagons in this aqua color. One of these years I'd like to pick up a wagon just to take it out of the bag and play, but until then this one stays in the bag - Enjoy!

  1. Ed, I took mine out of the bag, so you don't have to!

    1. That is sooo cool Hugh! Ya know, I never noticed the guy riding shotgun in the bag!!! And that horse - holy cow, it's nearly a 'flat'. Well, if I don't buy an extra one then perhaps one day I'll break open the bag and photograph it. Oh and BTW that 'Strange Men From Mars' rack toy is AWESOME! Okay, the hunt is on! LOL
