Item description:

A vintage 1/16 scale pressed steel pull-behind farm implement wagon manufactured by Ertl. This classic toy piece mimics a traditional agricultural flare box or barge wagon, finished in classic field green and designed with structural side ribbing to reinforce the utility bed box.
Key Design & Mechanical Features:
Scale & Build: 1/16 scale miniature featuring a durable heavy-gauge pressed steel cargo body shell secured to dual metal axles.
Towing Mechanics: Equipped with a long green metal pull-tongue tow bar ending in a curved hitch hook for easy attachment to vintage toy tractor drawbars.
Functional Tailgate: The rear end of the wagon features a stamped metal tailgate paneled with a prominent embossed “ERTL” maker’s logo that manually slides upward to mimic rear crop dumping.
Wheel Assembly: Outfitted with four independent, smooth-rolling black rubber tires displaying molded “ERTL” branding and code “11L15-6” on the sidewalls, set onto five-window beige plastic hub inserts.
Condition Report:
The farm wagon is in good, structurally sound vintage condition with free axle rotation and a functional sliding tailgate. The green painted finish shows typical play-related wear, including minor scuffing, scattered paint chips, light edge rust, and localized field dirt accumulation inside the cargo bed and across the undercarriage.
