Arcade International Red Baby Dump Truck c.1920
This is an excellent all original early antique Arcade Toy Company cast iron International Harvester “Red Baby” Dump Truck from circa 1920’s. The truck shows a cast iron construction with original red paint body having remnants of the original label, a bolted in driver holding the wheel, white rubber tires, and a functioning dump bed. The Arcade Toy Company was founded in 1868 as the Novelty Iron Works. Novelty Iron Works was discontinued and reorganized as the Arcade Manufacturing Company by Albert Baumgarten, Cyrus Tobias and Edward H. Morgan. The Red Baby International Harvester is an exceedingly rare piece and is one of the scarcer Arcade dump trucks with few having white rubber wheels. The truck shows an overall good condition for its age with all original condition. Measures overall 10.5”L. Some "Red Baby" IH Arcade trucks have sold at auction for $1,500.
