Fred Ertl, Jr., the former president and CEO of The Ertl Company, has selected GoMotorBids.com to consign a massive portion of this own private collection. Many one-of-a-kind prototype collectibles and rare early releases from The Ertl Company history will be featured in his auctions.
In 1945, Fred Ertl Sr. started making toy tractor die-casts by melting aluminum from local junk yards in the furnace of their basement. He wanted to create toys that children young and old would play for years to come. Thus The Ertl Company was born. When Fred Jr. was 18 his father became very ill and Fred had to take over the operation. Under Ertl Jr.'s tenure, the company became one of the largest and most well known manufacturers of toy vehicles. Over the years The Ertl Co. acquired other manufactures such as MPC Plastic Model trucks and AMT Model kits. They also had operations in England, Italy, Europe, Australia, Hong Kong, Mexico and China.
Ertl Jr. was inducted into the Toy Industry Hall of Fame in New York and the Farm Toy Hall of Fame in Dyersville IA. He was named the first "Legends of the Industry" by the Hobby Association.
