Rare 1950’s Greyhound Red Ribbon World Bus

This rare tin litho bus was made in Japan by Marusan.  There are not many of these buses around that still have all of the passengers seated with their dress and facial features clearly showing.  The bus is in very good condition with very few scratches to the paint.  The tires and yellow hubs are in good shape with the exception of a flat spot in the driver’s side rear tire. 

One of the most interesting facts about this toy is that the rear passenger is the only black person out of the thirteen passengers so this bus has become known for portraying wrongful segregation.
