Offering a rare, large-scale Arcade Manufacturing Co. Mack AC "Bulldog" Dump Truck. This is the highly sought-after chain-drive model featuring the classic "C-Cab" silhouette and an original nickel-plated cast iron driver. The truck retains a significant amount of its original factory paint (grey/olive drab) with a beautiful, honest patina. It features the mechanical "high-lift" dump bed; the internal piston and spring mechanism remain intact and functional—the bed will raise and lower once the guide string is replaced (a simple, standard restoration for these models). Underneath, the chassis is clearly embossed with "ARCADE," "2 M," and "M4."
Material: Heavy Cast Iron
Origin: Freeport, Illinois, USA
Age: Circa 1925–1929

Reference: For further identification of this model and Arcade's manufacturing history, see "Cast Iron Toy Cookery" (or the foundational reference "The Bank Book" by Bill Norman, page 58, which details Arcade's early casting and marking standards).
