Vintage Pre-WWII Meccano Dinky toys streamlined bus 29b in 2 tone blue, cut rear

...window made in England, die cast metal toy car bus A very art deco streamlined blue bus by Meccano / Dinky Toys (1935 - 1950), This is has the rear window cut, indicating it is an older model dating before WWII (1935 - 1940). It has plenty of wear and tear, as can be seen in the images, and no wheels. It still displays well and would make a great addition to an existing collection of toy vehicles. "29b STREAMLINE BUS was issued in 1936 and is a single casting which mysteriously does not seem to suffer the fatigue of many other pre-war releases. The wheels are concealed within the body, and during its life it ran on white or black tyres, both smooth and treaded. In its brief post-war existence, the tyres are usually smooth black. The pre-war castings all had an open rear window which was rather crudely filled in for post-war issue. The painting was always two-tone, with the spats and roof stripe painted a darker colour than the body. Two-tone green and blue are common, with grey allied with a variety of other colours following close behind, but the most spectacular is probably red with maroon flashes. Post-war, the colours were very similar but the roof flash was no longer applied."
