A wonderful gift for a tin toy collector, or a striking display piece for a vintage toy shelf.
This battery-operated tour bus runs on two D batteries with an engine sound, bump-and-go motion, and a spinning twirl — all still working perfectly, kept purely as a collector's piece rather than a child's toy.
