Take them to an antique dealer that knows toys or get a book on the value of toys. I bet the value of them is more now than what they cost new. I saw a crane shovel that was in rough shape go for $75.00. Boy it makes you feel old to know that the toys you played with as a child are now are antique now. Good luck.
Sad thing is. Nowdays they are considered unsafe...:banghead:

I had several tonkas' as a kid. Back then they were passed off to relatives.
I had a Limited edition Lionel train that would be worth $$$$$$$$$$$$$, today. Because of some special features.
Loaned it, not given to a cousin. When he was older my uncle removed the tracks from the ply board. Boxed and stored it. Refused to give it back.:fire:
