Sweet Vintage Wooden Double Decker Bus with Crayon Decorated People! pencil splits or chipsI'm a total sucker for a good wooden toy, and I think this bus was by my favorite maker, Creative Playthings.

It's definitely pretty indestructible, and has many good years of play in yet, though not a bad shelf object either, with smiling faces pointing out. 7" tall x 8 3 8" long x 4 3 8" wide. Scuffs and a few pencil or crayon marks here or there but
