Description: | This tinplate penny toy bus was made by Johann Phillip Meier in Nuremburg, Germany. Penny toys were mass-produced and distributed by wholesalers all over the world. This one was bought by Ernest King on 14 December 1905. King collected over 1,700 penny toys, all bought from street vendors in the Ludgate Hill area. These cheap but amusing toys were affordable for all but the very poor, and were particularly popular at Christmas. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work Leisure Home and Family | Temporal: | 1905 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
