Danbury Mint 1950 Divco Borden's Milk Delivery Truck

[THarrison351]

Since Christmas, I haven't been able to build models. We have a new mouth to feed in the house and she requires constant attention. It hasn't stopped me from purchasing things online. Not necessarily a holy grail more just a grail. Since I started collecting Mint diecasts on the cheap in the early 2000s, this is one that eluded me. Either too busted up or missing parts, I never expected to get one. This popped up with an out of this world buy it now and I didn't hesitate. It's missing tweezers and one door guide is cracked, but compared to so many, it's perfect for me. All paperwork and the box too!

A rare moment of calm for June bug

This truck takes me back to when I was a little kid.  For some reason, I remember our milkman's name.  Warren Bushbaum.  Sometimes he would come right in the house & put the milk & butter in the fridge.  I think he had the hots for my mom.  A much simpler time.

Way cool.  I too remember when milk and eggs were delivered to our home by our local dairy in Divs like these.😎💯

Me too. Suburban Omaha, Nebraska. Mid to late 60's I think the company was Graystone Dairy. They had a couple dairy/Ice Cream stores too.

I just bought a Danbury Divco Borden's truck today (Ebay). I plan to strip and repaint it to make our old Detroit version, a Twin Pines Dairy truck. Once it's here, I'll measure it up and find a source for custom-made waterslide decals. I use my name as the driver, and our old phone number (TWinbrook3-0XXX) for the back. 

Anybody else have the old milk chute on the side of the house? Not just good for milk: As a kid, I could sneak in or out through it. Of course, that was 110 lbs ago.
