Ref: MU/TONKA1
The Tonka toys were originally designed and built by Mound Metalcraft Co. in Mound, Minnesota, which had previously made a metal tie valet and had intended to build lawn and garden tools. In 1946, Mound approached another local manufacturer, L.E. Streater Company, about making metal toys under license. The name Tonka (a reference to nearby Lake Minnetonka) appeared on the toys from the beginning, but did not become the company name until the 1950s.T-shirt colour: as displayed.
