Lego bus

From 1932 to 1960 Lego produced wooden toys, including buses like this one. The company abandoned working with wood when its factory burned down for the second time. From that point on, it focused strictly on plastic. But until that point, wooden toys accounted for between a quarter and a third of Lego's revenues, so though the decision no doubt helped the company become a global name, it was a difficult choice at the time.
