Description

Here comes a nice rustic vintage Duch made wooden lorry truck, made in the 1950s by okwa with makeru2019s mark.
Our small wooden truck or lorry measures 23 cm / 9 inches long and 8 cm / 3 u00bc inches wide without wheels, 12 cm / 4 u00be inches wide wheel to wheel.

On both sides of the beautifully aged off-white painted lorry the word u201cBrasserie` (originally meaning u201cbrewery`, now used for an informal usually French restaurant, serving hearty food) is stencilled, and the front of the lorry shows red stencilled paint too.

On the back of our old open pic up truck the makeru2019s mark is to be found: a metal button with the sign u201cokwa`. From this we can determine the date of the making of this shabby chic vintage open lorry since this mark was in use only from 1940 on.
A Duch family by name of Okkerse (okwa is an abbreviation of the family name) founded a toy making factory in the 1910s, in Waddinnxveen and produced high quality wooden toys until 1976, when they went out of business.

Our old Duch lorry here has seen play and is a wonderfully shabby chic wooden toy for your collection or a gift for your darling old teddy bear or doll, or simply a fine rustic decoration piece!
On the underside there is carefully scribed and transparent lacquered number, looks as if this fine old toy has been part of a toy collection before! Or maybe okwa did number their produced toys ? we simply do not know.
As you can see in the photographs, the old truck lost some colour, especially on the red wheels and around the edges! But it is still stable, and the wheels move ly and perfectly, to me it seems like one of these old, indestructible toys of the times of our grandparents.

Seven wooden, silver painted cans (likely milk containers), and a wooden sack from a mill (supposedly containing flour) come with the vintage wooden lorry, but I am sure they are later additions and not belonging originally to our truck.

The two bears playing with the wooden truck in the last photo will NOT come with the truck, this listing is for the truck and wooden cans + sack ONLY! The bears are listed in our store as well!
