Congratulations. That is a very nice collector's item. First one I've ever seen. The fact it is dated is important too. Something I'm not quite certain of with the die-cast models. Just guessing they were made around 1957. Really appreciate you posting this picture. I'm sure that more than...

Thanks for the welcome. Yes, the Ordnance Corps was my home for 28 years until mandatory retirement. Wanted to stay longer but there was this issue about the Congressional statute. Since you asked, here are my two Mules. The two seater is Jack. He is a Commander model from Mechanical Mules of...

Just an observation: Basket case mules can run $1K - $2K. Motor Pool condition $6K plus. Frame off restoration / museum quality $10K plus. Something worth considering when "investing" in a Mule. A good ATV may run $10K. What will it be work in 5 years???? Maybe half. A decent mule will...

Nice job! If possible, put it in a Veteran's Day parade and check out the grins from the crowd. Everyone loves those mules! :D

Brant, You are correct. It's likely the one you see here. I just about went nuts when I first saw this die-cast after seeing the picture of one in the Leatherneck magazine. It was at that time I decided to do a little research. The problem is that so little is officially known about them...

I found a photo in a Willys Motors magazine dated Jan. 1958 with a Mule sling loaded under a CH-34. I don't have it digital but could possibly scan it. Haven't seen any photos taken with a Huey. However, on "Mail Call" a while back I believe there was some video of Mules sling loaded under Hueys.

I'm new to this forum (first post). I'm trying to find any information possible on the die-cast models either made by Willys or a toy company for Willys in the mid to late 1950s. Best guess is that these were produced around 1957 and may have been used as a sales tool. These models are...
