London Visitors' Bus Wheel

7/31/2016

 
I don't know how old this wheel is, but I imagine some of the bus routes have probably changed since this was made. This wheel is 5.75 inches in diameter and made of a coated, stiff cardboard. It's in excellent shape.

There isn't much to say about this wheel except for one thing: it was distributed by Wimpy Burger! I am a huge fan of Dudley Moore and Peter Cook's 1967 film Bedazzled. In it, Moore plays Stanley Moon, a hapless loser who works as a short order cook in the hot and greasy kitchen of a Wimpy's. He ends up selling his soul to the Devil, played by Peter Cook, in the hopes that he can win the love of Margaret, the blue-eyeshadowed waitress he works with. It's probably my favorite movie. I highly recommend it. It's hysterical and absolutely perfect!

What I don't like is that awful Ziggy-esque character on the back. Gack.
