Was this part of a Lionel flatcar load or is it just a toy that ended up in a train box. It seems there are parts missing also. Thanks Don

It looks like the Allison Chalmers scraper off a Lionel 6817 flatcar. This was first cateloged in 1959.

Thanks Curt, I'm sell off my 50,60, and 70's stuff. Is it worth putting up for sale with parts missing? Thanks Don
There are several on Ebay.
Thanks Don I had looked but didn't know what they were called. Don
Yes it was.....a popular car in the PostWar period.....the load was often removed and "played with"
Always hard to find complete.....but the "for separate sale" load is harder to find even more.

I'd guess most kids were like me when they got one if these cars. The scraper came off and was used to play in the dirt. Consequently, the scraper is actually more valuable than the flatcar itself. Not sure what the asking price should be if it's missing parts but, you could hang it on e-Bay see what it will bring.
