Bus

[Malibu]

Hi all,

this bus is aproximately in scale 1:220.
Does anybody know who made it?

I can't identify the model, but some observations:
- The bus appears to be an extremely crude copy of a 5b. On the other hand, it could simply be that the 5b is a typical London bus of the period and this is just another model of it.
- The wheels form part of the casting, suggesting it might be something like a token or a charm rather than a toy.
- The idea of a charm is further supported by the small scale and the lump in the roof, which could possibly be for the hanger. Alternatively, that lump could balso have been the attachment point for the poles of a trolleybus, although it is probably too far back for that (c.f. 56a).

You are right - it could be a charm.
I tokked a look at Google there are soem of this but not the same.

Many thanks

Looks like Harry Potter's night bus

Pretty sure it looks like an old keyring my dad used to have on his keys.
