Red Plow Toy

Location:
The last of the toys for this week was discovered in the same plastic bag as the two previous John Deere toys and in the same bin as next week's headline discovery.

Description:
Red disc plow on three wheels. The third wheel (at the end of the plow) can turn 360 degrees. The plow appears to be fully functional with adjustable heights and moving parts. The discs and plows are bare metal silver. The plow shows signs of use with dirt and rust residue in various areas.

Unique Marks:
The tongue of the plow shows "Tru-Scale" in yellow.

History:
According to our research, this appears to be a "Rim Plow" or "Two Bottom Plow" similar to this one:
