The 1914 "Old Bill" London bus was cast in two separate halves which were press fitted together and then painted in either orange or more commonly red. The wheels were also die cast and were painted black and the Grille and the "General" lettering to the sides were trimmed in gold. There were two dies for this model which can most easily be seen in the lettering for "Made in England" on the side of the bus, One casting has "Made in" above "England" written horizontally along the side and the other has diagonal wording. The Charbens Vehicles Bus - No.1 made of Lead is Number 3 in the range.
