DESCRIPTION: This is an old toy taxi cab that is marked on the back “K B N Made in Germany”. K B N is the mark of the manufacturer, Bub. It features a windup motor, steerable wheels, and battery-operated head lights. It was probably made in the 1920’s or 1930’s.
MATERIALS: All lithographed and factory painted tin
DIMENSIONS: Measures about 10-½ inches long.
CONDITION: Overall in FAIR TO GOOD, PLAYED-WITH CONDITION. The lithographed paint still has some shine to it. There are numerous paint chips and scratches, and several dents towards the front and middle of the roof. The windup motor does not work. The headlights are untested, and their working condition is unknown. According to the previous owner, the grill is a replacement, but if it is, it must have been from another Bub car as the tabs fit it perfectly.
If you collect taxi cab memorabilia, or toy cars made by Bing, Carette, Bub, or Marklin, this car will be an interesting addition to your collection.

FYI: Our pictures are taken under bright incandescent camera lighting or using a flash that sometimes fades out the colors or makes them appear brighter. This also helps to show all distinguishing features and possible flaws on the item. Most of our antiques and collectibles have much darker, deeper, richer colors than appear in some of our photos, especially reds that tend to turn orange in appearance. Most of the items are photographed on a solid black or bright white background. If you have a question about the color of this item, please feel free to ask questions, because from my monitor to your monitor, the colors may appear different. So, you might think you are offerding on a rare color, when it might be a common color.
If you win more than one item this week, I will combine the items for shipment and charge shipping according to weight.
