The Ertl toy saga began in the rural heartlands of America. Founded by Fred Ertl Sr. in Dubuque, Iowa in 1945, the brand quickly became synonymous with high-quality die-cast toys. The company initially commenced operations in a barn, which added an authentic touch to their widely popular farm toys! One start-up fact sure to intrigue collectors is that Ertl only had 'wooden patterns' of a tractor to start with, but quickly grew to be industry leaders with their meticulous precision and deep passion!
