Arcade #220 Cast Iron Dump Truck, Red & Green, c. 1928–1932
There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about early cast iron toys—the weight in your hand, the sound of rolling metal wheels, the honest charm of American craftsmanship. This Arcade Manufacturing Co. dump truck, model #220, captures all of that magic in just six inches of pure 1920s ingenuity.
Cast in solid iron and finished in its original bright red paint with a green tilting dump bed, this truck mirrors the rugged style of the Ford Model A era. The nickel-trimmed spoked wheels still turn smoothly, and the dump mechanism tips perfectly, ready for another load of imaginary gravel—just as it did nearly a century ago.
Underside markings read “ARCADE / MADE IN U.S.A.” along with factory mold codes 220, 220L, 220R, and 08, confirming this as a genuine Freeport, Illinois original. Whether you collect Arcade toys, vintage automotive miniatures, or early American cast iron, this little hauler is a gem from a golden age when “made in the U.S.A.” meant built to last.
Condition
Good overall condition with visible paint wear, chips, and light oxidation consistent with age and play. The paint appears original. Dump bed tilts properly; wheels roll freely. No breaks or repairs noted.
