This bus was made by Freeport Toys & Manuf of Freeport Ill. It is made of a thick cast aluminum and appears to be a copy of the old cast iron Arcade bus. I have seen these at shows for sale as Arcade buses. The decals are worn off this one but the paint is still pretty nice. It measures just under 8- 3/4 inches long.

I have the same bus in my collection. Mine is marked inside on one side The Realistic Toy Co. And on the other side Freeport Ill. made in the USA. Don't see that much any more.
