Tootsietoy
Tootsietoy
Vintage American toy manufacturer. Tootsietoy produced various Greyhound coaches as well as some other buses including a nice Twin Coach transit bus.
1628 Miniature BusVariation: Red
4651 Fageol Safety Coach, 1927Notes: Not exactly the best example, but good enough for now.
1045 Greyhound Deluxe BusProduced: 1937-1941
4680 Overland Bus Line
Exact bus type is unknown.
Notes: This green model variation may be a reproduction as the Tootsietoy name is not marked underneath the roof. The original Tootsietoy was produced between 1929 and 1933.
Twin Coach Model 34-S
The model is definately a Twin Coach, but the window configuration is not exactly the same as a 34-S. This coach can be found in these original colors: orange (the most common), green (scarce), and blue, the rarest. If there are other original colors I have never seen them.
Variation: Orange
