    Description

    Up for auction here is a very rare Die Cut paper toy in the form of a London Double Decker Bus that was issued in 1967 for the Montreal Expo 67 by the Brooke Bond Company of Canada to advertise their brands of Red Rose Tea and Coffee.
    I believe that these were given out at the Expo for the time that the exhibition was open.
    Paper toy
    Card measures 8 ½ inches by 3 ½ inches approximately.
    This toy has never been put together, it is in excellent condition.
    I have scann
    ed
    the front of the toy fairly large so you can determine the condition for
    yourself.
    .   This is a scarce issue
    .
    Most kids would have put these together and used them as toys (usually thrown out after awhile). I imagine not many survived intact, let alone unused.
    This is a great cross over collectable coveted by both people who collect red rose tea and Expo 67 issues.
    Due to the lower population in Canada than in the US or the UK,
    print runs in Canada were much smaller compar
    ed
    with American or British Issues. Because of this the majority of all Canadian issues
    are far scarcer than card issu
    ed
    in the US and UK
    I  will be trying to list several  EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories),
    including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States and Circus themes.  To view the other cards I have up on ebay please click  on the “View Sellers other Items” Icon located on this page. It will take you directly to them.
    I am actually located in Canada just across the border
    .  I have a U.S.A. mailing address, and I mail my items from the USA to avoid border delays.
    Due to my work schedule and distance to the post office I am only able to ship  Monday Mornings
    .  If I haven’t received payment for an item the EVENING BEFORE Monday  the item will have to wait until the next Monday  to go out. Its unfortunate but unavoidable.  If this doesn’t work for you I respectfully ask that you do not bid. Thanks again.
