Information from the original owner:
“Schuster & Waldner”: This was a company in Basel (Switzerland) which was a
shop for carpet and wallpaper. The model looks very nice it is the
normal 441, over-painted. I have seen about 3 times a model like
this."
This is a Code 3 model, i.e. one finished by the company (in this case Schuster & Waldner during the time of its release and not in collaboration with Corgi.
Several chips on this example. An eye-catching example with transfers on both sides. Lemon interior. Shaped spun wheels with suspension. Fine original tyres.
