How to Select Ertl Farm Toys
Back in 1945, when Fred Ertl forged his first toy tractor in Dubuque, Iowa, he couldn't have known that the name Ertl would one day be synonymous with excellence in die-cast farm toys. Since Fred began the business, other Ertl family members have ventured off to begin their own farm toy companies. None rival the original Ertl Toy Company of Fred Ertl.
