Cool I think I have about 6 or 8 oliver and whites in my collection they are hard to find

Nice!

Collecting them can be habit forming can't it?

There is always one more you just have to have.

Now you've done it!
Without the dust stuck in the oil-all-over,
what will hold them together?!?!? LOL
Love the collection.
Did you dust all the other ones too?

4th photo down or the last one of the models . The center tractor, I have like that with a serial number made for the national toy show years ago. I was big into collecting 30 years ago . I think at that time they were saying the model would be worth 1500 dollars in years to come. Fast forward we are in years to come and I doubt it would bring what I gave for it new back then. Models have not really commanded the big money some thought they would. I have over 200 a lot in original cartons and doubt I have much money. Have about 30 of suppose to be collectors editions with serial numbers ect. Guess the kids will get to see what they are worth some day.

Nice collection! My first toy was a narrow front 1650 Oliver. Run the tires right off of it working in the sand box.

rrlund · Dec 31, 2014

No,I'm just not that into the other colors. lol

rrlund · Dec 31, 2014

Ya,I fell for that "collector series" bull crap too. Never should have done it. I like the real toys,but had in my head that I needed all the collector editions that came out too. The asking price of them went through the roof and sucked all the fun and interest right out of it.
That's why I hope the antique tractor collecting is never taken over by people who are only in it for the money or think of it as an "investment". Buy what you like and keep it fun folks.

Nice collection of Oliver there! I have one Oliver toy I was given in 1966 by the man who owned the Oliver dealership here, it had been closed for years when he gave me this, I also have the box it came in as well
cnt

Nice! I hope I can find one like that. I have a 1030 Case like that one and a 930 Wheatland.

rrlund · Dec 31, 2014

I've had the 1800 with the loader since I was a kid. The 1850 hooked to the wagon in the second picture belonged to my younger brother. We wore both of them out. I had to restore them.

John-MI · Dec 31, 2014

Why did they never make a model super 55 tractor?

rrlund · Dec 31, 2014

They did. It was larger though,1/12th scale like the Ford toys were. Real hard to find and expensive.

Case Nutty 1660 · Dec 31, 2014

the 1030 was mine, it has farmed a LOT, I have been told they made two versions of this baler, one with engine and one with out lol

Randy, you have a nice collection, even if they are the "other green", lol. I enjoy collecting as well but do not have the collection like you do. My daughter says, "dad, why do you buy all that stuff"? I tell her, when she has my auction she will figger it out, lol. The stories of where and how they were acquired is one of the best reasons for collecting.

Alan K · Jan 1, 2015

I got a brand new 1030 Case when I was in the hospital back in 1974. I always marveled at the engine detail. Wish I still had it. Wouldn't mind a real one for that matter lol.

kj(seil) · Jan 1, 2015

cousins have one you're right larger than most I have a ford 960 that is also 1/12

You wouldn't happen to have the 1/16 spec-cast New Holland 8670 2wd, would you?

I have been searching for one for 3 years to the month. It seems they are, along with all the other Ford and New Holland tractors, to be the most rare as Ford and New Holland never really cared about the toys.

John_PA · Jan 1, 2015

I wondered who dusted your toys! It seems it would be a full time job. All of mine are boxed up, and wrapped in saran wrap until I hit the lotto and can afford to build a place to put them. It might be awhile.

Leroy · Jan 2, 2015

I have one that was hardly ever played with and also the box. Grandpa won it at the community instute when new. Have been told by a collector that it is worth over $800 but did not want to sell it.
