Description

Oxford Diecast Diamond T Ballast Edward BeckThe Diamond T shown here as a ballast truck for a well known but long gone family owned company Edward Beck Ltd of Stockport. Dating back to the early 1940s, the Diamond T was an American vehicle manufactured by the Diamond T Company in Chicago. Its heavy duty capabilities made it particularly ideal for military use although it was a natural choice in civilian life where it was most suitable for operating on rugged terrain and carrying heavy loads.

The Diamond T shown here as a ballast truck for a well-known but long gone family owned company Edward Beck Ltd of Stockport.  Dating back to the early 1940s, the Diamond T was an American vehicle manufactured by the Diamond T Company in Chicago.  Its heavy duty capabilities made it particularly ideal for military use although it was a natural choice in civilian life where it was most suitable for operating on rugged terrain and carrying heavy loads.

Edward Beck was born in 1912 and caught the haulage bug whilst working as a driver for a local heavy haulage company delivering sand. Rising up through the ranks, he became a manager just before World War II. After the War, Edward saw a gap in the transport of heavy plant machinery and set up on his own, with an office and a yard in Manchester naming his new company Contractors (Manchester) Ltd.  He adopted the pale yellow livery in 1948 and it became the trademark colour scheme for Edward Beck Ltd from then on. The company went from strength to strength, moving to Reddish near Stockport in 1948 where it was very well placed for expansion and demand for its services, particularly the transport of abnormal loads for the construction industry. It also transported plant from the docks to destinations across the UK. In 1955 he set up another company Contractors (Transport) Ltd., the period of our Oxford model. In 1972, the highly successful Edward Beck & son Ltd decided to wind up the business and the whole family moved to the Isle of Man, where Edward enjoyed his retirement until his death in 1987 aged 74.  His wife died in 2009 aged 96 while his son Teddy and family continue to live there.

Our Oxford model is a nostalgic tribute to Edward Beck Ltd, decorated in the company’s familiar primrose yellow bodywork. Contrasting trim includes black mudguards, chassis, white bumpers and black interior. The Diamond T is registered PML 804. A roof board over the cab carries the name in red of Edward Beck & Son Ltd. Additional lettering along the sides of the trailer and on the cab doors highlights all the contact details in Greg St, Reddish and their London Terminus. A spare wheel sits in the front of the trailer decorated with the same red centre as those on the vehicle.

While Edward Beck & Son Ltd has disappeared into the annals of heavy haulage history, the name lives on in this authentic Oxford replica.

Good quality, great for the beach
This is great for ocean and beach fetch! The spikes keep the sand and saltwater from getting in my pups mouth and upsetting her stomach. It also floats well and doesnt fill with water. I have had this for about a month now and in surprisingly good shape considering how obsessed with it my dog is. Not gonna lie, I avoid squeakers since my dog is an absolute menace with them but i assumed the squeaker would break almost immediately, however it is still going strong much to my annoyance🤣

Amazing toy for large dog breeds!
Size: 9.5 inch (Pack of 1), Size: 9.5 inch (Pack of 1)
My puppy Rottweiler loves this toy! Withstands her heavy chewing and really seems to soothe her! It’s very loud against the floor. She struggled a bit at first with picking it up but now it’s no problem. Highly recommend for big dogs

My puppy's favorite stick, high quality
Size: 5.75 inch (Pack of 1)
Perfect quality chew toy for my dachshund puppy. She will spend several minutes everyday chewing on this. It is the perfect size for her small mouth and it doesn't show signs of wear like most sticks do.

Durable
Size: 5.75 inch (Pack of 1), Size: 5.75 inch (Pack of 1)
Great buy would highly suggest for dogs that love to chew. I bout a large one for our 5 year old Husky and a medium one for our 11 week old puppy. Both are very intrigued by them and the puppy loves playing fetch with it. The only complaint I have is the size difference between the large and the small. I know measurements were given but the medium looks more like a very small stick. If you have a larger go with the Large size. Medium would really only work for smaller size dogs and pups
