Description, Collector Value ($US) and Notes...

A very nice Portugese tin litho wind up old look bus from the 1950s, but possibly much earlier as the bus has a front grille similar to American buses from the 1930s and 1940s.

The bus is in a very artsy red and yellow arch design with a double black belt below the passenger windows. The destination sign of this bus reads, "Porto-Lisboa."

The wind up key is directly behind the left rear wheel and on the underside is a sliding switch to turn the front wheels in the direction of intended travel. Directly behind the right rear wheel is the manufacturers logo, which is a running rabbit.
