DescriptionThis handcrafted wooden toy truck is painted in bold red and blue hues. It's simple, angular form evokes early motor vehicles, with a boxy cab, rectangular hood, and flatbed base. The wheels are flat discs, painted blue in the front and left bare in the back, affixed with metal hardware. Notably, the headlights are fashioned from bottle caps, repurposed and nailed to the front. This truck’s worn paint and handmade details suggest it was a cherished object—likely played with extensively.On View
