Oh no! After typing my first post, I just remembered that I have my Dad’s metal late 1940’s Wyandotte truck sitting on the top of my china cabinet; along with an early 50’s metal top!
What should I do...do you guys think I should call HAZMAT? I’m scared to go to bed knowing that such poison is lurking in my house!!
Would that metal top have a red wooden handle and is painted with red, yellow, blue, and have white stars? I still have mine and I passed it down to my kids. And you know what? It doesn’t have any teethmarks on it and the paint, except for the bottom where it spins, is still in excellent shape.
Every time a story like this comes out, we always laugh about playing with the little balls of mercury from broken thermometers.
