19xx Tonka Douglas Furniture Private Label Semi
Featured is a Tonka private label trailer sporting Douglas Furniture graphics. The decals are water transfer. There are no graphics on the front
or rear of the trailer.
Questions need to be addressed. Was the semi totally manufactured by Tonka? Is it an engineering sample? Is it a salesman's sample? Is it a prototype
that never made it to production? Was a painted semi shipped to Douglas Furniture and the graphics added by them? If you have documentation to help
authenticate this semi, please contact me. The restored semi sold on eBay in late March 2009 for $677 USD.
NOTE: The trailer was found without the tractor. The 1960 cab used in the restoration may or may not be correct.
