TIN TOY - evaluation very painted

[simoneboris]

Hello, I've found this old tin toy http://it.tinypic.com/r/qq8rpd/8 hided on a false ceiling of an old italian villa in Brescia (near Milan). The mechanism still work good. Different collectors are interested in buying it but I don't have an idea of the real value of the toy. Could someone help me to evaluate it? Obviously if someone is interested in buying it too, it is possible to contact me via private message. Thanks

If its a MOKO toy I suggest you contact Hans Ludwig on one of his email addresses - 1@1ll.de - or - info@dream-tintoys.com - He is the No.1 expert on these toys and will offer you a very good price - tell him Mick Flack sent you.

Very nice bus, I've never seen one before. It would be interesting to find out more about it if Hans Ludwig has some information.

Last time I saw one of those was at Sandown some ten years or so ago. It was going for around one thousand pounds. A collector was selling a number of these types of models - German tin plate. Nothing under eight hundred pounds.
