It took several years for a Terminix van to make a showing. In late 2008 however, this featured truck went up for bid on Ebay. Terminix vans are known to have been manufactured in 1959 and 1961. The featured truck is from 1961 as evidenced by the Tonka "T" embossed in the front bumper instead of the grille. A ladder is missing from its storage location.
I would consider the Terminix van more scarce than the 1963 Terminix pickup with topper based on the number of each I have seen auctioned on eBay since 2000. That said, why do the 1963 models sell for bigger bucks? Do you know why? |
