Buddy "L" Toys

1929 Catalog on CD

 

Buddy "L" Manufacturing Co.

East Moline, Ill. U.S.A.

Buddy "L" Toys was founded in 1921 in East Moline, Illinois, by Fred Lundahl.

The "Buddy L" Name: Lundahl built a sturdy, miniature pressed-steel dump truck out of scrap metal for his 5-year-old son, Arthur "Buddy" Lundahl (nicknamed "Buddy L" because another neighborhood boy shared the name). When neighborhood kids coveted the nearly indestructible toy, Lundahl pivoted part of his factory to full-time toy production in 1921.

The heavy-gauge stamped-steel toys featured functional parts (like working dump beds and water-pumping fire trucks) and were so durable an adult could stand on them. The line expanded in 1926 to include large outdoor model railroad sets.
