More Daffy than Donald I fear, but I gave it a try!
Well, I barely hide my disdain for the schmaltzy, 'classic' Disney characters, but when Brain Berke, roving reporter in New York sent me these, I have to say, I was quite chuffed, as it's an exquisite treatment of the dime-store style, row-crop tractor genre, and it is a genre, with die-cast and tin-plate, there's a whole field of them to collect!
Donald Duck, off to . . . do something . . . to a meadow! Brian reports it has no makers name, although the tyres (tires) seem to resemble the Banner ones, so might it have been by them, as a contract for the gift shops I assume the first two Disneylands (California and Florida) had, before the modern era of licensed and franchised everything?
Cheers Brain, a real doozy!
