Vintage (Circa 1910) Germany Poster Stamp London Bus On Metzeler Solid Tires Unused No GumThis Poster Stamp Shows A Tilling-Stevens Petrol Electric Bus. In 1901, Aberdeen Suburban Tramway Company Proposed A System Of Tram Routes Running From The City To The Suburban Areas Of Bucksburn And Bieldside. These Came Into Operation In 1904. In 1914, The Company Decided To Acquire Three Tilling-Stevens Petrol Electric Buses To Augment Their Tram Service. These Vehicles Had A Petrol Engine Which Was Used To Drive A Dynamo Which, In Turn, Fed An Electric Motor Driving The Wheels. It Was Claimed That They Were Cheaper To Use And Easier For Tram Drivers To Learn To Operate. They Were Double Deck Open Top Rear Entrance Vehicles With Benchseats Inside For 20 Passengers And Slatted Wooden Seats For 18 Passengers On The Upper Deck. Their Maximum Permitted Speed Was 12 Mph. All Three Buses Were Converted To Charabanc Bodies In 1921, And Were Sold In 1927.This German Advertising Poster Stamp Promotes Metzeler Solid Rubber Tires (Massivreifen) With A Detailed Blue Monochrome Illustration Of A Vintage London Double-Decker Omnibus From Route 7, Bound For Wormwood Scrubs And Liverpool Street. The Stamp Features A Period Driver At The Wheel Of The Open-Cab Bus, With Distinct Lettering For "Genikal" Displayed On The Side And "Preis 1½d" In The Upper Panel, Indicating Fare Pricing. The Text "Mit Metzeler-Massivreifen" Highlights That The Vehicle Is Equipped With Durable Solid Tires Made By The German Manufacturer Metzeler, Renowned For Producing Industrial Rubber Goods Since The 19th Century. The Stamp Serves As Both A Technical Showcase And A Commercial Endorsement, Demonstrating Metzeler’s Export reach and product application in British transportation. Likely Issued Between 1910 And 1920 Based On The Vehicle Design And Typography.
