Yesterdays finds included an early MARX bus. Royal Bus Lines. My books show it to be fairly rare. It is also fairly rusty. lol
Next is a Wyandotte boat tailed racer with working headlights. They made these in three sizes, this is the 8 and 5/8 inch model. The working headlights used flashlight bulbs.
Next is what I am almost positive is a Wyandotte stake sided cab and trailer. Could not find this exact truck but the cab and stake design is almost certainly Wyandotte.
Tin Model CarsPrior to the mid-19th century, toy model cars and trucks were generally mad…
Oh GV, these are great, great, great!
You got parts to add?
Nice finds! I would love to see more of that bus!
Like Rambow, I would love to see more of the 3...
Very nice find GV, would like to see better pics of the bus also, I believe I have the truck, I will check.
super finds!!!
Great find!
Flash bulbs??!! You sure it's not a camera in disguise. That is intriguing. I have never heard of such a vehicle using flash bulbs. So it has a battery compartment, too? Incredible find!
Flashlight bulbs. Like in a handheld lamp. Not the photographic type.
Where is the battery compartment? In the trunk, or underneath?
was underneath (is missing, , the 'brake" lever on the side actualy was a light switch.
Nice design integration of form and function!
