When we were kids my parents got us our Western Flyer red wagons at the Western Auto and a wooden and metal sled too. I am sure they got their appliances at one of those stores too. I can remember going to those stores with my parents and you are right all metal toys, they had the metal tonka trucks too because I can remember my brother getting his there.
