1958 Tonka State Hi-Way Lo-Boy and Shovel set #43. Looks like the one in the DeSalle collectors book. When I was searching for a State Hi-Way construction set for my collection years ago, I won this one on ebay and the description stated it had been professionally restored with new decals. It was done nicely and I was not disappointed. It is in near mint to excellent condition as the pics show, you be the judge. The paint job on this is better than the factory, as you Tonka guys know some Tonkas had runs and paint bubbles on them, this set has very few and hardly noticeable and no bubbles. It has a few very small nicks and one chip on the back corner of the shovel which were there when I bought it, mostly (shown in pics). It even has the loading ramps with it which store under the back of trailer, shown in pictures. At the time of restoration it received a new windshield and maybe new tracks on the shovel. One of the tracks has a very small dried glue spot, nothing to take away how nice this set is. I have carefully kept it to where it would not be touched as it was one of my favorites. But its now time to let someone else enjoy it, I will be listing my entire collection over the next few weeks so if you like nice antique toys keep me on your fav list. I will be selling Tonka's, Mighty Tonka's some with boxes, BuddyL's and Nylint read more
