When the Moline Pressed Steel Company was established in Illinois in
1910, it was in the business of manufacturing pressed-steel fenders
and cabs for International Harvester, which was making a precursor to
the modern pickup truck at the time in addition to the line of tractors
for which it would become so famous. In 1915, the company's
founder, Fred Lundahl, and his wife, Marie, had their first and only
child, a son named Arthur. Nicknamed Buddy "L" to differentiate him
from another neighborhood boy named Buddy, Arthur was spoiled by
his father, who made a dump truck for the lad out of the same sheet
metal his factory used to manufacture Buddy L Trencher Digger That
act of fatherly doting occurred in 1920; the response around the
neighborhood and at a New York toy show to Fred's handiwork was
so positive that a year later Lundahl had retooled a portion of his
factory to make toy trucks, cars, and other metal toys branded as the
Buddy "L" line Buying Old Toys ~Buddy L Baggage Truck Link
Throughout the rest of the 1920's, Buddy L would grow by leaps and
bounds, as its rugged toys, which were much larger than those of
cast-iron competitors such as Kenton, Hubley Buying toy collections
Besides, it's not as if the quality of Buddy "L" trucks from the 1930s
was dreadful—dump trucks from that decade had working, battery-
operated headlights, the truck actually dumped, and the tailgate was
carefully hinged. Rubber covered the wheels, the doors to the cab
opened & closed Buying antique toy collections Free toy appraisals
Part of the secret to the toy's endurance was its baked-enamel finish,
which helped prevent the pressed steel from rusting. And they were
strong enough for a child or even an adult to sit on, making play that
much more realistic. In addition to the dump truck, Buddy "L" also
made a wrecking truck, whose crane sat on a working turntable and
featured working pulleys, cords, and cranks. Equally detailed was the
steam shovel, whose cab roof was made of corrugated steel and
whose bucket opened and closed with the turn of a crank. Even more
elaborate was the trench digger, which rode on caterpillar tracks
like the steam buddy l steam shovel featured a crank at the back of the toy that
would let a child actually dig a trench, removing dirt as the toy was
pushed forward. Buddy L Junior Oil Tanker ~ Buddy L Road Roller
