Canadian. 1946-Early 1950s. Pressed steel. This toy has a decal that says "Made in Canada Lincoln Toys Reg'd," which identifies Lincoln toys made from 1946 into the early 1950s, representing the formal registration of the brand name. This toy was manufactured by Windsor Steel Products for Lincoln Specialties Limited. The "Ellwood Metal Products" decal has been added. The physical design of the cab is the primary indicator of the original manufacturer. In this case, since Ellwood only made cab-over-engine (COE) designs, we can confirm they did not manufacture this truck, but it is a Windsor Steel Products piece. Decalled, "Made By Ellwood Metal Products Tilbury Ont., For Lincoln Toys Made in Canada", at rear. Decalled, "Made in Canada Lincoln Toys "Reg'D"", on hood. From the Yvan Lalonde Collection.
