Focal Point: Nutmeg Petroleum Tanker – Tootsietoy • c. 1960

By Steve Butler

THE CAB ON THE pictured rig is a B model Mack. This style cab was the fourth semi tractor issued after WWII by Tootsietoy. The three preceding styles in order of issue were their versions of a Diamond T, an L model Mack and a cab-over-engine (C.O.E.) International. The tanker trailer on this rig is identical to those produced without the molded- in rear ladder and as used for some of the preceding Mobil and Mobilgas toy trucks.
