Today saw possibly the hardest to find Model T van arrive in the cabinet. This is probably the last Model T I will add to the collection.

You will not need all the fingers on one hand to count how many of these have hit the market. I'm truly indebted to the seller for making this model available to me.

For those not aware, Bob's Van above has what is classed as 'Type 1' rear doors. This means the outline of the doors is tampo printed onto the body rear, but there are NO representation of door handles and the hinges are very small with the overall look being quite plain. Models with 'Type 2' doors do have handles and much larger hinges plus the whole artwork is more ornate.
