Identification Guide and Links

 Informative Info

This page features a Tonka Identification Guide which will help you in determining the age of your collectible. Often you may find a Tiny Tonka Toy and you’re not sure of the year it was manufactured, all you have to go by is the logo. Even when you have one with a box sometimes it is hard to determine since the year of manufacture is missing off the box. Below are the various logo changes that are applicable to the Tiny Tonka Line from the early 1960’s to the early 80’s. This information is also applicable to the larger Tonka’s just in case you were wondering.
