Well here is my "Metal Masters" Bus in Green. It is clearly marked "Metal Masters Co, Made in USA" in the casting on the inside of the roof.
Since we have also entered Repair / Tow Trucks genre, I thought I would add:
My Wyandotte Tow Truck. The hook is original, but the tow line to the hook is just string, obviously replaced sometime in its lifespan
Here is another truck of about the same size by Marx :
The Marx version of the Tow Truck, note that it has no line to the hook but just a solid pin supporting the hook to boom connection. Not very realistic but given Marx's penchant for reliable toys probably more durable and able to support a higher load than any string.
Finally just for Fun to make sure that the accidents that these tow trucks are called to are properly reported, a "Dick Tracy" police car, also from Marx (friction drive).
Size comparison:
Metal Masters Bus 7"L X 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 " W (tapers front to back) X 2.25 " H
Wyandotte tow truck 8 3/4 "L X 3 1/2" W X 4" H (cab roof) 5" H (top of boom)
Marx tow truck 10 1/4"L X 3"W (cab) 4 1/4" W (truck bed) X 3 1/4" H (cab roof) 5 1/2 " H (top of boom)
Dick Tracy Police car 6 1/4 "L X 2 1/2"W X 2 1/2" H to top of roof but roof slopes to rear
Trucks too big for O but might work for Standard , Metal Masters bus likely OK for O
Best Regards
Don
