BUDDY L BUS.

Conceivably one of Buddy L’s largest, greatest pressed steel renditions of a real automotive toy. Opening front doors for the driver and passenger to enter this vehicle with room inside for 20 passengers in their pressed steel seats and furthermore the appealing construction and detailing such as the headlamps, nickel plated front bumper, dual cowl mounted spare tires must have made this a most appealing toy to the youth of the toy as well as to collectors today. Steering wheel inside the cab allows the front wheels to turn and for the direction to be controlled. Oftentimes due to the size this toy has excessive wear especially to the roof where the child would sit. This particular example although not mint, is in remarkable original condition. Decals are largely intact and perhaps the only negative aspect of this bus is a little bit of thinning paint and wear to the visor above the front wind shield? SIZE: 28-1/2″ long. CONDITION: As described above, a very fine example with some minimal uniform paint chipping overall and very little chipping to bus roof especially compared to most known surviving examples. 1-13987 (3,500-5,500) – Lot 3382

Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Spring 2014

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
