Picked up locally, but there is no identification on it.
It is hand made out of tin. Not completely accurate but I like it.

Hi peaceful warrior,
What you have here is a recently made VW Bus toy made in China from either recycled tin cans,
washer & dryers or an old hot water heater.
Usually sold in home Decor stores or gift shops from the $10 to $40+ price range !!
I am lucky not to have received one from a relative or friend who knows that I am into Vintage VWs . . .
Enjoy

Really! I thought Chinese crap had to be stamped Made in China Crap! 
Well, I guess it could be. I got it for $5 at a yard sale.
