However, Moline Pressed Steel Company did not start manufacturing toys under the Buddy L name until 1921, when it started with a pressed steel pick-up truck that expanded into a veritable fleet of almost 30 cranes and other construction toys some five years later. Until then, Moline Pressed Steel Company manufactured parts for farm implements, truck parts, automobile fenders, and other stamped auto body parts for the automobile industry. Interestingly, the company was named after the founder’s son Arthur, whose nickname was Buddy L. Lundahl. He started the company to make new, different, and durable toys. Buddy L produced cranes, steamrollers, trucks, trains, and construction toys. CONDITION—It is in Good Used Condition. Some signs of wear, including some chips, are typical for a toy of this age.
