Old Cast Iron Toys Found at Moving Sale

Here is a link to the Old Cast Iron Toys we purchased at a "Moving Sale" here in Southwest Colorado on Saturday, North of Bayfield, Colorado. These old cast iron toys were grouped (boxed) together for Thirty ($30) dollars so we swooped them up. I believe at least one of these old toys would bring $30.

The question is, "Do we leave them "as is? Do we try to clean them?" Most of the cast iron pieces are rusty, but there are a few that appear to have a nickel-coating resulting in less rust accumulating.

The photo image on the right shows one of the interesting toys, a 2-horse Surrey carriage. It is missing a carriage driver, its Fringe-top and needs some mending done where it broke apart and separated down the middle of the carriage where I am assuming the cast iron mold joint might have been.

I love the old crank Ford tractor. and the crank actually turns. This one is for you Mr. Bud Clark! BUT ... I will keep it safe in this NW Okie's possession just for you!
