Prior to the 1920's American toy trucks were not considered worthy of serious attention. That changed when the Buddy L
Toy company produced their first truck in 1921. Pressed steel toys designed to emulate authentic cars and trucks were
quickly becoming part of American mainstream and various manufactures like the Keystone Toy Company as well as the
Sturditoy company started producing pressed steel toys to compete with the finely constructed examples of Buddy L Toys
Buddy L Trains were also being promoted at the same time as the Buddy L Truck line became popular. Old toy trucks
varied in prices with ten dollars for only the most elaborate of toys Keystone toys were less expensive than Sturditoy trucks
however both companies decided to lower their prices as the economy weekend towards the later part of the decade. New
designs and multiple colors were introduced hoping to stimulate trade, however Buddy L Toys and several Keystone Toys
still suffered slow sales regardless of these innovative concepts. More expensive Keystone toys and early Sturdtioy trucks
regardless of their creative paint schemes could not effectively compete with the ever growing number of big toy companies
manufacturing pressed steel toys. Sturditoy never made trains although trains were part of the Buddy L Factory mainstay
Interestingly Buddy L Trains were extremely expensive to manufacture and almost bankrupted the Buddy L Toy Company
as it neared the end of the 1920's. Pressed steel toys found today with most of their original paint in tact are considered
prized possession among vintage Buddy "L" collectors and serious Sturditoy truck pressed steel toy collectors everywhere.
