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

This is an over foot long Continental Trailways tin litho friction bus from the 1960s. The carboard box with cellophane insert states that this is part of their bus series (Greyhound and Continental Trailways) and is friction powered and made by KYOEI. The front of the bus has the letters, "SETRR," but the picture on the bus reads, "SETTER." There is another picture of the Greyhound bus in the series and it looks like a GMC PD 4104 in blue and white with the gold stripe, which seems to denote that it is from the 1960s.

This tin toy bus is in imaculate condition and has a sky blue bottom with skylights on top. Destination sign on front and back reads, "EXPRESS."
