Farm Toy Box Appraisal

John Deere Wooden Toy Box

This is a rectangular wooden toy box, brightly painted in the iconic John Deere green with yellow accents and branding. The physical dimensions appear to be approximately 2-3 feet in length, around 1.5 feet in depth, and roughly 1.5 feet in height, making it suitable for children's toy storage. The primary material is painted wood, likely plywood or a similar composite for structural integrity. The top surface of the lid features a prominent yellow John Deere logo, depicting a leaping deer within an oval outline, centrally placed above the words 'JOHN DEERE' in bold yellow capital letters. The front panel of the toy box also showcases a smaller, similar John Deere logo and text. Thin yellow lines frame the outer edges of the lid and the front panel, contributing to a clean, branded aesthetic. A recessed handle cut-out is visible on the front face, allowing for easy opening of the lid without external hardware, suggesting a child-safe design. The construction appears to be glued and possibly nailed or screwed, though specific joinery is not visible. There is visible wear on the front lower edge, indicated by some scuffing and loss of paint, exposing the underlying material. Minor blemishes or dust on the surface may also be present, consistent with regular use. The overall condition suggests a well-used but still functional item. This toy box is designed to appeal to enthusiasts of the John Deere brand and is likely a licensed product. It represents a modern production, likely from the late 20th to early 21st century.
