 Posted: Sun Nov 07, 2010 10:54 am Post subject: Is this a real Barndoor? Parein biscuit tin |
 |
|
Found this cool old savings box from the 50ies, with a barndoor bus on it.
It's from the Parein Biscuits factory in Antwerp.
How cool would it be if this is/ was a real (existing) bus!
Does anyone know a bus with these logo's?
Thanks!

i counted 8 vent slots no signal indicator lights so i would think it would be a barndoor.

Thanks for responding. I did see that too.
But my question is: Has this bus existed in real life? Or would it even exist still?

|
|
Hello Kai ! and others )
...Parein Biscuits was a BELGIAN company, I allready saw adds in the past from Ebay tin-collectors with even over 7000 feedback, that announced this as "from the FRENCH company Parein..." but ANTWERPEN / ANVERS, as the bus says, so Antwerp, is in Belgium, yes... (NOT that anyone of you wouldn't know that, especially our northern neighbour Kai )
...OK, so the little house and the Barndoor bus... NOT ME, but someone else from this forum, got in contact with the PAREIN family about a year ago, and they didn't know much on this... the old Mr. Parein's grandson had a huge collection himself, including the little bus of course, BUT he said they didn't really use Volkswagens those days!!!! he SUPPOSED the tin-box and money-box designers just USED them as these Transporters were well known over here too, and popular, so a popular car on that house, that would sell better, no?? I'll ask this friend if he remembers more details from this story, and I'll ask him to add some in this topic, ok??
...the little house is not hard to find, but the 'Box on Wheels' ??? that's a RARE and HARD to find one!! (and NOT cheap, NOT !!!!!!)
The Bus that was posted in the Gallery yesterday by Barndoor51 has some really nice details, the back is very beautiful too!! barndoor engine-lid, brake light, licenseplate light,... and the logo's are in FRENCH and FLEMISH, typical Belgian, flemish (= dutch) on the driver's side, french on the passenger...
...the house was made for years, the Barndoor bus was ONLY in their 1953 catalogue!!!! ...the license plate is the old style Belgian plate in enamel ('emaille') with 6 numbers, they used them untill 1954-ish?? the style of licenseplate as seen here:
(on this bus, also logo's in french AND flemish!)
ps: PAREIN made a LOT of different cookie-boxes, there must be hundreds of different Parein boxes, I saw a lot with royalty stuff on it, but also with flowers,... but no other then the VW's, no other cars were used on the boxes!

hi Kai!
...so yes, when I wrote: "NOT ME, but someone else from this forum, got in contact with the PAREIN family", I meant our good friend Boss !! but I didn't want to write that BEFORE I talked to him, well, now he was faster in his reply!! I tought I'll call him later this week and ask if he allready saw the topic? I'm sure he can tell you better what the family told him then! ... Boss, I'll call you later
...and YES, it would be great to find a Parein Bus, I only saw pictures on the internet and in an old brochure, showing delivery trucks with Parein logo's, but always older cars, Bedford type also, and once I saw a picture of a truck left in the streets during the war, destroyed ;-( |

The rare times I have seen them for sale I don't recall them being priced that high but they were expensive. I think I remember seeing one sell on eBay for $400-$500 US.
