Squeaky toy “Trump” horse from a vending machine at a highway rest stop in Maine (October 2019): Lead-free

| | | |

My son got this little squeaky toy horse from a vending machine at a rest stop in Maine as we were headed north to Bar Harbor in October of 2019. He actually got a whole bunch of these toys (maybe 20?) as he repeatedly fed the toy machine with quarters. I have pictures of the machine in my photo library somewhere and will update this post with that as soon as I can find it! He said this horse reminded him of Trump because of the floppy yellow hair! There is no mark or maker information on the toy. Below are the full XRF test results for the toy.

  • Barium (Ba): 111 +/- 62 ppm
