About the Item

This wonderful bus was made by the Kenton Co. The passengers really add to the look. Generally nice condition with the tired in good order and most of all really good paint. Original paint is the key to cast iron. If you see a little white under the passengers, that is just a little easily removed putty to keep them stabile when moving the bus around, that is all. It has nothing to do with the condition. The back staircase was professionally repaired. A great toy !
