Big tin friend: a Soviet truck with a trailer is sold on Violiti
A toy cargo vehicle from the times of the USSR is an infrequent "guest" on the Violiti website. Especially such a model and such an interpretation.
Sold lot - toy truck "Zaporozhets" with a trailer. The total length of this small vehicle with a trailer is 79 cm. Without a trailer it is 54 cm. On the body the model name is ЗС 50-49.
Many Soviet children rolled such toy trucks on a string. But over time, most of them have worn out. After all, they were still toys. And very few models have survived to this day. As a rule, they are bought for restoration.
Most of the tin trucks in the USSR were produced at the Automobile Plant named after I. Lenin Komsomol, at the Leningrad metalware plant, Artel them. Shchorsa, Zaporizhstal and other enterprises. Many of these enterprises for Soviet citizens were associated exclusively with the heavy or defense industry, but not with the production of toys.
Still, they got contracts to make tin trucks. This was because their capacities made it possible to produce toys along the way with their profile directions. These were cranes, trucks with trailers, dump trucks, milk tankers and fire engines.
The industrial policy of the Soviet state was focused on heavy and defense industries. As for consumer goods, they have already been produced to the extent possible. That is why not every boy could get the coveted toy.
In the case of the tin truck sold on Violiti's website, someone's dream finally came true.
