Submitted by NaidaTheCollector

Item: Vintage Case Pedal Tractor
Manufacturer (likely): Eska or Ertl Company (USA)
Date of Manufacture: Circa 1960s
Material: Cast metal/pressed steel body with rubber or hard composite wheels
Size: Child-sized ride-on toy
Condition:

  • Overall good vintage condition, some surface rust and paint wear
  • Appears structurally complete (important for collectors)
  • Retains original Case decals and shape

Historical Context:

During the 1950s–1970s, Eska, and later Ertl, made licensed pedal tractors for Case, John Deere, International Harvester, and others. These toys were popular farm-style ride-ons and are now collectible due to their durability and nostalgic appeal. Case tractors are especially sought after by fans of agricultural history and collectors of farm memorabilia.

Estimated Value (2024 Market):

  • Fair Condition (play wear, rust, fading): $125 – $225
  • Good Condition (mostly intact, minor surface rust): $200 – $400
  • Restored Models or Excellent Condition: $500 – $900+
  • Rare models or showroom condition: Can exceed $1,000

Your piece appears to fall in the good unrestored category, likely around $200–$300 in its current state based on market trends, completeness, and visible wear.

Recommendations:

  • If you plan to sell, consider listing on:
    • eBay (vintage toys/tractors section)
    • Facebook Marketplace or vintage farm collector groups
    • Live auctions or antique toy fairs
  • If you plan to restore, be cautious: original condition often retains more collector value than an amateur repaint.
